welcome to About Us

We are a 9 veterinary surgeon practice operating across three surgeries supported by 9 qualified veterinary nurses, 7 trainee veterinary nurses, 9 receptionists, 2 practice managers and a human resources officer. We make a great team!

• We pride ourselves on being very personal, approachable practices. So, for those of you who do not know all of our staff members, find out more about our vets, nurses, receptionists and practice managers and meet them face to face!

AlphaPet is a Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons Accredited Practice

As an accredited practice, the clinics have passed an inspection focusing on a range of areas, including health and safety, hygiene and clinical governance and the facilities we provide. It also certifies that we:

• comply with current Health and Safety legislation
• employ staff who are fully and appropriately trained for the work that is carried out
• have access to laboratory facilities for diagnostic testing and have a system for monitoring the outcome of treatments
• have appropriate surgical and diagnostic equipment
• AlphaPet will be re-inspected on a regular basis and will be subject to spot-checks at any time.

Our last inspection was in April 2008

.

The Practice Standards Scheme is a voluntary scheme and not all veterinary practices have joined it.

Accreditation means that clients can rest assured that we offer a high quality of care for the pets in our care. It also assures clients that all parts of the practice conform to the standards laid down in both the areas open to the public and also the “behind the scenes” areas.

AlphaPet has achieved the Investor in People award.

We are a Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons Approved Training Centre and our nursing staff are therefore trained to very high standards.
