What does a Vet Nurse do?

In order to qualify veterinary nurses undergo 2 years of college and on-the-job training covering many subjects including surgical and medical nursing, radiography and laboratory work. As a Training Practice we have
modern facilities to ensure all our staff are trained to the highest standard.

Here at Deane Vets our nurses our nurses are involved in a wide range of tasks, from serving clients in reception to monitoring anaesthetics. Our nurses care for in-patients and assist with surgical and medical procedures, as well as helping the duty vet with emergencies when needed day or night.
