The certificates have arrived, and weโve got some lovely feedback to shareโฆ
Our Dalston, Newbiggin and Tarn practices have received their accreditation certificates through the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons (RCVS) Practice Standards Scheme ๐
This means weโve chosen to be independently assessed against RCVS standards and thereโs a lot of work behind those certificates. Each practice underwent a thorough inspection lasting two to three days, checking everything from how we store and manage medicines and stock to our equipment, facilities and health and safety procedures.
And there were some lovely comments about the work happening across our practices:
๐ Dalston
Our welcoming waiting room, wellbeing garden and support for the team all received praise. The assessor also described the practice as โa leading light for the professionโ for its sustainability work!
๐ Newbiggin
Our dedicated teams and wide range of services were recognised, with particular praise for the spotless, well-equipped equine facilities and the care taken to protect both patients and staff.
๐ Tarn
The assessor highlighted the great attention to detail in our farm health plans, our clean and tidy premises, and the specialist interest in goats that allows us to support clients from further afield too.
Thereโs so much work that goes on behind the scenes to care for your animals, so itโs brilliant to see our teamsโ efforts recognised.
A big thank you to everyone across all three practices. There's so much to be proud of! ๐
