What previous locums say:
"I was a locum vet here for a month. From day one the team were welcoming, friendly and helpful, taking the time to teach me how the clinic operates. I’ve made some great friends in just a month! The clinic is well equipped, and it’s clear the lead vet and owner is passionate about veterinary medicine, with cutting-edge lab equipment and a wide range of surgeries. I enjoyed working both at the larger hospital site and the smaller branch nearby- the change of environment was refreshing. The town is beautiful, and the clients are friendly and truly care for their animals. I would recommend this clinic, and I hope to return after my travels!"
"Well, that’s my week done and dusted at this lovely little independent practice in Lincolnshire. I thoroughly enjoyed my time here and can’t recommend the lead vet/owner and her team enough. I may well be back! I met some wonderful clients and patients who were generous with their compliments."
