ABOUT US
​
We are a busy 2-site independent practice in Oxford providing first opinion and referral care to cats within Oxford and the local area. Working with us offers a unique opportunity to be immersed in all things cat with a great team of experts in the field.
We know vets work at their best when there is good case communication, team support, and a sensible workflow, so we make this happen. 20-minute consultations are standard with regular gaps in the day for admin and lab reporting. Lunch breaks and finish times are respected.
Our Feline Internal Medicine Referral Service is headed up by Martha Cannon, RCVS Specialist, Lauren Demos American Diplomate and 2 Advanced Practitioners. The two teams work closely allowing First Opinion clinicians to refer internally and informally learn from the referral expertise around them in ward rounds, case conversations, and internal CPD. By working alongside two Specialists and two Advanced Practitioners in Feline medicine we can guarantee to help your feline medicine knowledge grow whilst you help the Clinic to grow and thrive.
