RCVS Veterinary Hospital Award

We are very pleased to announce that following a recent RCVS inspection, we have again been awarded Veterinary Hospital status.

To be accredited a Hospital a veterinary practice must meet Core Standards (level 1 of the accreditation scheme), plus those of the relevant General Practice (level 2 of the accreditation scheme). In addition it must, among other things:

• Ensure nursing staff are present on the premises round the clock, and a veterinary surgeon available 24 hours a day to attend to in-patients, if required

• Maintain and improve clinical standards by monitoring performance and the outcome of treatments 

• Provide a range of specialist equipment, such as specific diagnostic equipment (ECG and ultrasound)

• Submit to rigorous examination of its premises and facilities, with emphasis on cleanliness and sterility

We believe that in holding Hospital Status, we can offer our clients the additional reassurance associated with this accreditation.
