Profession regulator awards Hedon veterinary practice accreditation upgrade

Profession regulator awards East Yorkshire veterinary practice accreditation upgrade

 

The team at an established equine practice in Hedon are celebrating after being upgraded to the new accreditation levelEquine General Practice - Ambulatoryby the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons (RCVS).

 

For the Haven Veterinary Group, it is the highest accreditation it could receive for the facilities at its Ketwell Lane site.

 

Equine General Practice - Ambulatory is an accreditation for equine practices that provide a GP level service without stabling facilities or premises where horses are treated.It means the practice meets RCVSCore and GP requirements in all modules except In-Patients.

 

HavenVeterinary Groupowner and principal vet, Jim Morris, said that receiving news of the standard upgrade is an official acknowledgement of the equine teams' expertise.

 

"We work hard to maintain high standards of veterinary care here at the practice and this latest accreditation shows our dedication to our profession," he added.

 

To attain the RCVS General Practice grade, veterinary practices mustmeet a range of minimum standards including hygiene, 24-hour emergency cover, staff training, certain types of equipment and cost estimation procedures.

 

Haven's practice manager, Mandy Dobbs will be testing her equestrian skills when she competes in the annual Camel Derby at Beverley Races on 17thAugust. Sporting silks in Haven's colours, Mandy is competing in the race to raise money forSave the Children.

 

Mandy said: "This will certainly be different to riding horses, but it's a fantastic cause, and I'm looking forward to what should be a fun event for charity."
