caring in practice

   

The Jackson Veterinary Clinic has been computerised since February 1993. We have invested heavily in equipment over recent years to provide you with a better service. This means that we can obtain a faster diagnosis for your pet and treatment can therefore be started much sooner.

   

Blood test results are available within minutes, instead of a few days. You don't have to travel long distances to see a referral vet, for example, to have an ultrasound scan performed on your pet (often taking the whole day). The facilities make our job more satisfying because we feel that our patients are better cared for.

   

Of course, "hardware" is not the only investment we make. We spend more than £1250 every year on continuing professional development (CPD). Although this is not yet a legal requirement for vets (or doctors!), we think it is very important to keep up to date with new techniques and to refresh existing ones. Recent course attended by Mr Jackson include: radiology and ultrasonography of the abdomen; cardiology; recent treatment developments in gastric dilation/volvulus and practice management courses. Our lay staff and nurses are also encouraged to attend meetings and courses.
