Background
In October 1996, we started this emergency service,
the Veterinary Emergency Treatment Service (V.E.T.S.), supplying cover to
practices in Cardiff, the Rhymney and the Rhondda Valleys up to and including
Merthyr Tydfil.
V.E.T.S. employs five veterinary surgeons and
five
veterinary nurses, (along with other ancillary staff), who cover emergency work
from 6pm to 8.30am plus weekends from midday Saturday and all Bank Holidays. All
cases are returned to the usual practice the
next day.
V.E.T.S. provides a central, hospital style, emergency service with staff on site all the time and vets who work solely with emergency cases. (Just like the clients are used to for themselves.)
Costs are comparable to that charged previously by User
Practices.
There is no ‘putting off’ - V.E.T.S. is easily contacted with one phone call. No answer phones or bleeps are used.
We have our own animal ambulance.
The veterinary surgeons working for V.E.T.S. are well motivated, and keen to see clients and their pets.
There is 24-hour resident care.
