Job description
Your roles and responsibilities
If you are a Specialist in Veterinary Neurology, enjoy working in a team striving to provide the best quality of care based on current evidence, and you would like to match some of the pros of academia (clinical research, supervision and teaching of residents, interns and student), with the financial rewards and challenging caseload of a private practice, this is the chance you have been waiting for!
Dick White Referrals (DWR) is looking for an American or European Diplomate in Neurology to join our Neurology team, including 2 current diplomates, 2 clinical fellows, 3 residents, and 2 interns.

DWR is moving into state-of-the-art facilities and the hospital is fully equipped with the surgical, diagnostic and hospitalisation facilities commensurate with a flagship specialist veterinary hospital and has an on-site reference laboratory with both in-house clinical pathology and diagnostic histopathology. As part of our ongoing drive for excellence, we have a new building underway onsite that will double the size of our facilities and create a truly world-class hospital.
