We hold fortnightly vet meetings giving colleagues the opportunity to discuss cases, review protocols and look at any new products available. Regular admin time slots are allocated into the diary as well as on the day appointments to help ease the day to day working of the practice.

The nursing team is highly motivated and hold a number of post VN qualifications - Graduate Diploma, Certificates in Emergency & Critical Care, Infection Control, Feline Friendly Nursing and Dermatology and have nurses currently studying towards Certificate in Anaesthesia.

Our two practices are based across Sunderland, a short distance from the stunning beaches of the North East coastline and our location provides close proximity to transport links including metro stations, A19, A1, the airport and main train stations.
