The Nurses at

The Horse Clinic


The practice has been recognised as a Veterinary Nurse (VN) training centre for many years and we always have a long list of potential young trainees who would like to join us. We undertake our own staff training in addition to the requirements of the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons.

Our Horse Clinic nurses are supported by a team of grooms and nursing assistants who help look after any needy animals at our Blackmore clinic.
