We are delighted to open applications for a motivated, compassionate RVN to join our Emergency Team at Blaise Veterinary Referrals as a Daytime Emergency Nurse.
Help shape the future of Emergency and Critical Care
Blaise Veterinary Referral Centre is a large-scale, multi-disciplinary, specialist-led referral hospital which encompasses the culture and values we pride ourselves on at IVC Evidensia. Blaise has added to our extensive referral network, which now consists of over 100 referral sites across the UK & Ireland. In addition to our referral teams on site, the 24-hour hospital will be home to our Vets Now at Blaise emergency service.
In partnership with Vets Now, the UK's leading provider of emergency pet care, our out-of-hours team will be here to provide an emergency service to local first opinion practices 24/7, and to ensure continuity of care for inpatients that have been seen by our referral team.
