Do you think ‘Best Practice' and 'General Practice' are incompatible? We don't. If you think general practice could be better, then read on!

Who Are We?

At Astonlee we believe that general practice is more than boosters and abscesses. We strive to deliver the highest quality diagnostics, medical and surgical treatment options. We achieve this by maintaining a loyal and well-insured client base, and by providing our vets with 20-minute consultations, ample administrative time, continued direction from a supportive Clinical Director, and access to a huge network of clinical support from our Hub Clinical Leads (HCLs) and Advanced Clinical Services Network (ACSN).

Do you like structure in your working week? A 4-day week at Astonlee consists of two 8am-5pm consultation shifts, and two 8am-8pm operating shifts - split into clean and dirty ops, with a short consulting period in the evening. Our 1-in-4 Saturday shift is an 8am-5pm call on the day consulting shift, with time in the middle of the day for that emergency stitch up or pericardiocentesis.

Who Are You?

Are you the vet that constantly challenges themselves to improve their knowledge and enhance their practice? How would you feel about presenting Evidence-Based Veterinary Medicine at our regular clinical meetings and journal clubs?

Are you into mind-boggling medicine cases or show-stopping surgeries? We don't mind, as we welcome candidates with a medical or surgical preference. And we are extremely open to anyone who has ideas of how general practice can be modified and improved. All we ask in return is that you start and finish work every day in the same way - happy.

If this sounds like you, please get in touch!
