About Us

Our practices are based in Teignmouth, Torquay, Newton Abbot and Paignton, with our main surgery being located in Dawlish. We are proud to be able to offer CT, digital radiography, quality ultrasound scanners (Including Doppler), quality anaesthetic monitoring equipment, excellent surgical and consulting facilities, two dental suites, full IDEXX laboratory facilities, microscopy, endoscopy and laparoscopy. Most importantly we pride ourselves on our excellent team of experienced clinicians with the added expertise of certificate holders in cardiology, dermatology, small animal surgery, ophthalmology and dentistry.
Our Team
What makes us special? Why would someone want to work with us?
The answer is our team; we have a longstanding, experienced team with varied interests. We are proud to be able to boast that many of our Vets and Nurses have been here for over five years with a number working with us for over 15 years. We are an RCVS accredited nurse training practice with an amazing team of 19 RVN’s, five SVN’s, seven VCA’s and nine CCA’s.
We are a team that believes in celebrating successes and recently one of our nurses has won the BVNA RVN mentor of the year award and one of our brilliant new graduates has been nominated for BVA young vet of the year. We hold monthly clinical meetings to allow the team to learn from challenging cases and to ensure that everyone stays up to date with any changes or initiatives. We hold regular practice meetings and team surveys ensuring that everyone has a platform to share ideas and discuss issues. Our vets are managed by our Clinical Director, Emily Stoker, who works closely with the vets to ensure their professional development, work-life balance and a rota that reflects their interests. To compliment this, we also have Jane Glover-Hill who oversees the development of our junior/newly qualified vets.
CPD is actively encouraged as we are very keen for staff to develop themselves to their maximum potential. We offer a generous CPD budget with vets having visited VMX in Florida, Shanghai, BSAVA, LVS, Barcelona and Luxembourg. Business ownership is also an option in the future for the right candidate.
Social Scene
We are a big team and enjoy socialising together. There is always something going on from brunches and pub lunches to paddle boarding and we recently had a whole practice picnic in the park. Our Christmas Party is at Torbay Yacht club this year with a live band and 3 course meal.
The Local Area
There are good transport links nearby including Exeter airport and fast trains to London. Our surgeries are situated on the beautiful Torbay South Devon Coastline with Dartmoor just a half hour drive away. This allows for easy access to water sports in the sea and River Dart, cycle routes, running clubs and rock climbing.
