Teaching is an essential component of the internship, with weekly scheduled didactic seminars and lectures, plus M+M rounds are intern-led, to augment the clinical experience.

We are very proud of our entire team and employ a wide range of workplace measures to ensure our staff are happy. From the highest standards of air quality and a proactive CPD programme, fruit and milk deliveries and private health insurance, we want our staff to feel valued and be happy at work.

Applicant Requirements
Candidates wishing to apply must be MRCVS and eligible to work in the UK (Visa sponsorship offered), and it would also be desirable that applicants provide evidence of competency in speaking English, as determined by a formal qualification in English (such as IELTS or TOEFL). Candidates need to be proactive, enthusiastic and a great team player, but also be able to use their own initiative and self-motivate. Excellent communication and interpersonal skills and the ability to multi-task with a flexible approach to working are a must.
Interns will work with their supervising clinician to participate effectively in all aspects of planning, diagnosis and treatment of cases. Animal welfare and the ethics of interventions must be considered by balancing practical and financial factors when determining appropriate patient care. Therefore, the ability to apply prior knowledge and experience to maintain the high clinical standards expected within our hospitals is essential.
Interns will openly engage in case discussions with the senior supervising clinicians, residents and senior nursing team and should contribute to a positive, informative, respectful and inclusive environment for all. Attention to detail, particularly with maintaining accurate records and written correspondence is also a key component of this role.
