All our Veterinary Surgeons attend courses, seminars and congresses during the year, covering a wide variety of topics and funded by the Practice, This keeps everyone up to date with the latest developments in Veterinary Medicine.

Student Veterinary Surgeons
It is a requirement that every Student at Veterinary School has to spend a minimum of twenty-six weeks at a recognised Veterinary Practice during their clinical training. Students regularly spend 2-3 weeks with us every vacation and we take great pride in helping the vets of the future to develop the skills they will need once qualified.
