The position involves primary responsibility for the treatment of primary accession and referred cases to our emergency and critical care department, as well as shared care of hospitalised patients from the other specialist departments. Management of cases in the ICU often involves discussion and assistance from multiple specialist disciplines, providing an excellent opportunity for learning and case follow-up. All our veterinarians and nurses in the ECC are mentored by ECC extraordinaire Dr Christine Lovatt (DACVECC), allowing excellent scope for continuing education opportunities and practical on-the-job training. Continued professional development for our staff is a major priority at our clinic, so we can ensure our team have excellent job satisfaction and can also offer the most current, gold standard techniques and practices to our clients and their pets.
