We pride ourselves on offering a high standard of care to our clients and their cats.
We know vets work at their best when there is good case communication and team support with a sensible work flow. We have a daily "huddles" at the start of the day with the whole team and a ward-round every afternoon for clinical staff. We offer 20 minute consultations as standard with gaps in the day for admin and lab reporting. Lunch breaks and finish times are respected.
