The hospital provides care for small animals and exotics and operates both a general practice and emergency center. The position offers a strong and consistent emergency caseload within an established hospital with advanced diagnostic resources and collaborative clinical support.

Role Description and Responsibilities
The Overnight Emergency Veterinarian will focus on emergency and critical care medicine, managing a varied caseload that includes urgent, surgical, and critical cases.

Team
The hospital has an experienced and collaborative veterinary and support team, including experienced technicians who allow doctors to focus on clinical medicine.
