Please Contact us at the hospital for immediate referrals or you may wish to contact Chris Johannson,Simon Joyner or Alison Bennell directly to discuss individual cases. Alternatively you can email your referral, incuding relevant clinical history,radiographs and any further diagnostic information. 

We will accept referrals only on an ethical basis after prior contact with referring veterinary surgeons. Once the patient has been discharged, copies of discharge instructions are emailed to referring practices and a full veterinary report is subsequently sent. As part of our commitment to ethical referrals we will not provide first opinion veterinary services to any referred client for at least 12 months following referral. We run CPD events throughout the year and produce referring veterinary newsletters regularly.
