The Next Step in Your Career

As a Registered Veterinary Nurse, you will be responsible for carrying out general nursing duties within the practice, including conducting nurse appointments. You will assist with the admission and discharge of patients, administer treatments such as injections, medications, and dressings, and dispense medication as prescribed by the veterinary surgeon.

We are committed to personal development, with a Veterinary Surgeon holding a certificate in feline medicine and another with a Fear Free certificate. We actively encourage further development and provide support for additional qualifications. Our experienced nursing team also holds certificates in Emergency and Critical Care, Advanced Feline Nursing, Dentistry, and Exotics.
