More about the role

Veterinary Surgeons at [Employer hidden — sign up to reveal] are exposed to a wide variety of medical, surgical and emergency cases, enabling rapid development of skills and confidence in general practice.

About the hospital

We hold regular clinical governance discussions and have developed an award-winning set of clinical guidelines to assist our vets in pragmatic decision making, where patient welfare is a priority. High standards are important to us but so is the ability to discuss openly where lessons have been learnt, within a safe, non-judgmental environment.
