Vets Now Coming to Winchester
Vet's Now, is delighted to announce that it will be opening the doors to its new clinic in Winchester on 16 June.
Based at The Mildmay Veterinary Centre, Eaton Lane in Winchester, the clinic is the 32nd Vets Now clinic to open in the UK and will provide Out of Hours cover for a number of member practice clinics in the Winchester area.
The new Winchester clinic will be open between 7.00pm and 8.00am during weekdays and at weekends from noon on Saturday through to Monday morning.
Speaking about the new opening, Richard Dixon, managing director of Vets Now, commented: "It is a fact of life that some pets will take ill or have an accident outside normal veterinary practice hours. The purpose of the Vets Now clinic in Winchester is to ensure that pets in the area have immediate access to a dedicated team of vets when needed. Our team specialise in emergency and critical care medicine and the clinic is fully equipped with the latest emergency technology to ensure we can provide a dedicated emergency service."
He added: "Also, we cannot overlook the pressure placed on vets when they are providing their own Out Of Hours cover for clients. Veterinary surgeons can easily work 70 hours a week and if a vet has had to deal with a middle-of-the-night emergency, it may impact on their ability to provide the best care during the day due to lack of sleep. By using our service, it allows the vet to focus purely on their daytime work."
