About Us:
We are a large practice group with 10 practices across Shropshire and Worcestershire, with a 24 hour hospital in Bridgnorth. Our Cleobury Mortimer branch is a rural 1-2 vet branch, with very loyal friendly clients, and a fantastic friendly team.
We have a close working relationship with several dog and cat charities which does make up a section of our work here. Our Bewdley branch is again a 1-2 vet practice situated in the heart of town and the community, the clients here are very proactive and engaged with the care of their animals. At both sites our nurse consults are very popular and there is a lot of nurse led care. At both sites we have theatres, multi-parameter monitoring, patient warming, x-ray, ultrasound, dentistry including dental x-ray at Bewdley. We offer laparoscopic procedures and orthopaedic procedures at our hospital and other branches.
The current holder of this position is moving internally to our hospital site to fulfil their own interests and career progression which is fully encouraged.
