This is a Veterinary Hospital
Do you realise what that means?
A Veterinary Hospital is a practice that meets the
most exacting standards applied in this
country. The standards are many and varied to include
the premises, the equipment, the vets, nurses and the
level of care provided. These standards are set and
enforced by the Royal College of Veterinary
Surgeons, our governing body.
Registered Veterinary Hospitals are
independently inspected to ensure compliance. Many
aspects of pet care that you might expect to take for
granted can only be guaranteed to happen in a
Veterinary Hospital.
Veterinary Hospitals are the only practices where you
can be certain your pet will never be left alone. A
Veterinary Hospital will have a vet or nurse on the
premises 24 hours a day - every day of the year.
Veterinary Hospitals must have a dedicated, aseptic
operating theatre in which to perform your pets
operations.
Veterinary Hospitals have an obligation to make sure
their vets and other staff are well qualified and up
to date.
Veterinary Hospital status ensures X-Ray, ECG, laboratory facilities and and up to date library will
be present on-site.
Veterinary Hospitals guarantee to have a dedicated
ward with sufficient, comfortable kennels as well as
intensive care and isolation facilities.
Veterinary Hospitals are required to ensure that if
your pet is anaesthetised, there will be a vet or
nurse monitoring the anaesthetic from start to finish.
Full membership of the British Veterinary Hospitals
Association is restricted to Registered Veterinary
Hospitals. Wherever you see the BVHA logo displayed,
you know that the practice meets the required
standard.
