About Us
St Anne's is a busy first opinion practice, employing 10.5 vets and a large nursing team. Our nurses are lucky enough to be supported by a team of Animal Nursing Assistants and receptionists, enabling them to focus on hands-on nursing tasks. We encourage and strive to support staff in perusing their interests and have regular performance reviews to facilitate this. Many members of our team have undertaken further study and we therefore see a varied and interesting caseload.
We pride ourselves on providing 'gold standard' care and have access to the necessary equipment to do this: dental radiography, endoscopy, multi-parameter patient monitoring and access to blood gas monitoring. Our in-patients received good continuity of care and are monitored 24/7 as we host Vets Now for all out-of-hours work.
