Cardiff airport is 60 minutes away and we are on the main train line to Cardiff, Bristol and London. Both practices are just minutes off the M4. If you like beaches, mountains and the sea, it’s all on your doorstep. The Gower, an area of outstanding beauty is local as are the Brecon Beacons. If you prefer city life, Swansea is minutes away and Cardiff just a little further.
We have a very experienced team of 7 Vets and 10 Nurses with an amazing 'can do' attitude where nothing is too much trouble. We regularly have 'one to ones' to check in on everyone and our Practice Manager is a mental health first aider. We try to hold regular social events so we can spend time together outside work. We hold regular practice meetings and smaller meetings for different areas of our team. Our team are like a family.
