BRIAR DAWN ◊ Veterinary Centre Ltd. ◊ Accreditation

This practice is proud to be a member of the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons Practice Standards Scheme and has been accredited as a Tier 2 Small Animal Practice

As an accredited practice, we have passed an extensive, in depth inspection carried out by an experienced veterinary surgeon appointed by the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons.

This certifies that we have appropriate diagnostic and surgical equipment, have laboratory facilities for diagnostic testing, employ staff that are fully and appropriately trained, keep accurate and detailed records of all procedures, are committed to the education and training of our staff, maintain high standards of hygiene, provide 24 hr emergency cover and comply with all legal and health and safety requirements, among many other criteria.

The practice will be re inspected every four years and we will be subject to spot checks in the mean time, so we have to keep on our toes.

The Practice Standards scheme is a voluntary initiative – not all practices are part of it yet. RCVS accreditation means that as a client you can rest assured that our practice offers a high quality of care in all areas.

We are also members of the Feline Advisory Bureau who are the leading organisation promoting the welfare of cats in Europe, supporting research into the causes and treatments of diseases in cats. We have been nominated every year since opening for the prestigious Cat Friendly Practice UK award, which recognises the specialist equipment, training, facilities and ‘catitude’ of practices.
