Routine neutering (including flank spays)
Abdominal ultrasound, TFAST and AFAST imaging
Exploratory laparotomies, splenectomies, GDVs, gastrotomy, and enterotomy
Routine consultations and dental procedures
Whether you’re an all-round GP vet or wish to specialise further, your career aspirations will be supported through tailored CPD and mentorship.
Workplace Culture & Team
You’ll join a welcoming, collaborative team that includes certificate holders in ophthalmology, orthopaedics, soft tissue surgery, and emergency critical care. The hospital fosters a learning environment with regular clinical discussions, team meetings, and opportunities to pursue certificates.
