Branch:

Medivet Quarrington is a lovely purpose-built practice, with a large prep area to which all theatres are attached to. It has 2 sterile theatres, Orthopaedic surgery, a separate dental room, a separate x-ray room, and separate dog and cat areas with exotic wards. The practice also has a large conference and training room upstairs. 

The practice is well equipped with the hope we can expand to CT in the future. They are ISFM accredited (cat-friendly accredited).

We have a lovely, supportive team who are very dedicated to moving the practice forward. It’s a 20-minute drive to Lincoln city centre and a 25-minute drive from the A1, A15, and A17, with a train station a few minute's walk
