Enjoy a half‑day every week, Monday off following a weekend on call, and 32 days of holiday plus your birthday off. Additionally, the practice offers 5 days of CPD with a generous allowance and actively supports further study, both financially and professionally.

The practice is equipped with all the modern tools you would expect, including dental dremels, head stands, respiratory scopes, mobile digital x-rays, two portable digital scanners, and a high‑quality ultrasound scanner for equine work. Facilities include in‑house equine stables and stocks at two locations, designated large animal nurses, and an in‑house lab.
