We have a fantastic mix of experienced vets and more recent graduates. The team is well qualified (including 3 CertAVPs and 2 residents working towards their ECBHM) and we encourage and support further study for all our team members. We provide the freedom to independently work up cases and we are also fortunate to have regular support from the cattle health and production team at the University of Nottingham. We are a teaching practice for their final year vet students, and evidence-based medicine and herd health are central to what we do.
