Job Description: We are currently working on behalf of a client who are searching for a confident and experienced Veterinary Surgeon to join their hospital night team. They are looking for a capable all-rounder who strives for high clinical standards in general practice and enjoys the challenge of emergency practice and critical care cases. The role covers all aspects of OOH care including consulting, emergency surgeries and inpatient management, so a level of experience is required (at least 1-2 years in practice).
