John has completed his Charity Cycle Ride!
Vet John Hutchinson completed his thousand mile cycle from Lands End to John O'Groats in May. The cycle took 14 days and John has raised just over £3000 for the local branches of Cat's Protection and the RSPCA in the process. He is very grateful for all of your kind donations. John took some time away from the practice earlier this year to train for his cycle. He has now returned to full time work at the practice.
Welcome Louisa!
Louisa Mitsas joined the practice as our new vet at the beginning of April. She joined us to develop her interests in small animal veterinary practice after previously working at a mixed practice. She has settled in well and looks forward to meeting more of you in the coming months.
New Weekend Opening Hours
We are now offering extended weekend consulting hours. Routine consultations by appointment are available on Saturday from 9am until 5pm and on Sundays from 9am until 12.30pm.We trust that these times will be of benefit to those who find it difficult to visit us during usual weekday consulting periods.
