Our team of nurses...

Our registered nurses are responsible for the healthcare of animals presented to the surgery. They are able to offer a full range of diagnosis and treatment for all common companion animal species.

All of our nurses are fully qualified and have a high level of expertise in caring for domestic species, with over 30 years' experience of small-animal nursing between them. Reception is the first point of contact and the team are able to offer advice on when an appointment with a vet is needed, as well as being able to answer many day-to-day questions regarding routine healthcare.
