About us
Working for Vets Now means working as part of a small but dedicated team. On each shift, we typically have a vet, registered veterinary nurse and receptionist. However, help and advice is always available when you need it from our UK network of out-of-hours clinics and emergency and specialty hospitals, Area Directors and Area Clinical Managers, and support staff.
We are passionate about breaking down barriers to a career in ECC and that’s why we have invested in our Edge induction programme, led by experienced emergency clinicians. In addition to our regular induction programme, our Edge programmes offer hands on ECC training where you will be paid while you learn. Our team can discuss with you what course best suits your needs to ensure that you feel confident starting your new role.
Veterinary Emergency and Critical Care provide a stimulating, high-adrenaline environment for everyone who works in it. The variety in pace and emotional reward of successfully treating a seriously ill or injured pet is often what sets it apart from other veterinary disciplines.
Unbelievably fast and efficient service during our emergency visit during the night. They kept our puppy stable and kept us informed of every single step, always asking consent and offering comfort. I am eternally grateful, thank you – Poppy M – Google Review
