Overview
Pride Veterinary Referrals is the central small animal hospital for the Scarsdale Veterinary Group, a multidisciplinary practice employing over 300 staff across 11 sites in the Midlands. We offer specialist services in internal medicine, soft tissue and orthopaedic surgery, neurology, diagnostic imaging, anaesthesia, ophthalmology, cardiology and on-site hydro- and physiotherapy. The state-of-the-art hospital provides 24/7 veterinary care, supported by a dedicated night team. We work closely with the University of Nottingham, with the veterinary students rotating through first opinion and referral services at Pride. This provides the opportunity to support teaching and research interests and the chance to inspire the next generation of veterinary professionals.
