For Veterinary Surgeons
Specialist Referral Services
Internal Medicine
The Internal Medicine service is headed by Rob Foale, assisted by Simon Tappin and Jon
Wray, all of whom are Board-certified Specialists. It is one of the
busiest veterinary internal medicine services in the UK, seeing
over 2,000 challenging cases each year.
We offer a comprehensive cardiorespiratory service, including
echocardiography, ultrasound and phonocardiography and routinely
undertake such procedures as pericardial drainage, assessment and
pericardiectomy, investigation and management of pleural space
disorders, Holter monitoring and interpretation.
Our multi-disciplinary oncology service encompasses all aspects
of modern cancer medicine, from initial assessment and staging
through to chemotherapy and/or surgery. We run an out-patient
clinic in conjunction with referring veterinarians.
Our clinical expertise and experience, combined with state of
the art endoscopy equipment, allows us to offer a full range of
diagnostic and therapeutic endoscopic procedures,
We work in partnership with a team of Diagnostic Imaging
Specialists who have a wealth of experience across the range of
sophisticated imaging equipment at their disposal. This includes
facilities for MRI scanning, ultrasound, computed radiography,
echocardiography and fluoroscopy. Although many centres offer
advanced diagnostic imaging, without the specialist experience of
specific techniques, and the expertise to interpret results, their
true benefits may not be realised.
Our on-site laboratory, headed by a European Specialist in
Veterinary Clinical Pathology, provides us with consistently
accurate results with minimum delay. Our clinical pathologist is an
integral part of the medicine team, attending rounds each morning
to discuss laboratory results in the light of clinical
findings.
