Find your purpose in our purpose-built hospital
Blaise is a large scale, multi-disciplinary referral hospital which encompasses the culture and high clinical standards IVC prides itself upon. Blaise has added to IVC’s extensive referral network, which now consists of over 100 referral sites across UK & Ireland. This is the first hospital in our group that we have built which has created a unique opportunity to be a part of something special from the very beginning.
The hospital is one of the largest in the UK at over 36,000 sq ft, with the capacity to treat up to 10,000 pets per year. From the site we will provide specialist led multi-discipline veterinary referrals and a Vets Now emergency service. The site has easy access from the A38 through Longbridge and is part of the West Longbridge regeneration project.
Join us on our journey
A multi-disciplinary referral hospital needs a strong team of clinicians. Naturally, you’ll work closely with your team ensuring the best clinical outcomes possible. Being part of a new team brings additional exciting challenges too — you’ll have the opportunity to develop the services we offer, as well as being responsible for driving referrals in your area of expertise.
With Blaise, you’ll be there at the very start of our journey — where together we’ll shape an exciting future for both our veterinary centre, and the careers of the people within it. Regardless of your role, each and every member of our team will play an essential part of delivering outstanding care to animals and their owners.
