We offer a full range of investigative diagnosis and treatment for medical problems including endocrine, gastrointestinal, hepatic, renal, nasal and haematological diseases.  We are aided by advanced facilities including flexible video-endoscopy, which allows examination and biopsy of the gastro-intestinal, urinary and respiratory tracts. We also have a dedicated I131 (radioactive iodine) treatment service for cats with hyperthyroidism, which is mainly run by our feline medicine nurses. 

Full and in-depth training will be provided while shadowing experienced nursing staff in all areas of the hospital. 

Your skills and attributes for success:

• Being an RCVS registered veterinary nurse is essential.  
• Excellent organisational and communications skills are essential.   
• Keen dedication to teaching the next generation of veterinary surgeons and veterinary nurses is essential.
