Island VetCare, a veterinary practice based in Ryde, has been accredited as a Hospital by the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons (RCVS) under its Practice Standards Scheme.
This is the only Veterinary Hospital on the Island that also offers the services of RCVS recognised Specialist Vets, including advanced imaging (MRI, CT ultrasonography, endoscopy) and surgical procedures through its Island Referrals Team.
This prestigious accreditation indicates that the practice offers the highest level of equipment, facilities, staff, processes, management, and above all, service to patients and owners.
Specialist Surgeon, Ian Nicholson, said,
“We are extremely proud of this incredible achievement, which is of great credit to the every member of our exceptional team.”
He went on to say,
“Island VetCare prides itself on providing a low-stress environment for our patients, clinical excellence, empathetic and high-level client support.
“We’re very grateful to the Island Veterinary Practices who refer their patients to us.”
Referrals to the Mainland
This means that referrals to the Mainland are, in many cases, no longer necessary, saving people, and their ill or injured pets, the stress and cost of multiple trips to mainland specialist centres.
This service is offered to all pet owners on the Island who can be referred from their own vet.
A significant achievement
The accreditation of Island VetCare as a Hospital by the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons is a significant achievement, and demonstrates the practice’s commitment to providing the highest level of care for pets and their owners.
