The Practice
Chippenham Vets for Pets
We are ideally located with excellent transport connections, close to the M4 and the local train station. The practice benefits from a large on-site car park with free parking for staff and clients. Our modern, well-equipped surgery features advanced diagnostic and surgical facilities, including digital and dental X-ray, ultrasound, VGels, and multiparameter monitoring systems. These resources enable our clinical team to consistently deliver high standards of veterinary care.
We are committed to supporting our nurses as veterinary professionals, ensuring they have the opportunity to fully develop and utilise their clinical skills. Our structure allows nurses to take ownership of nurse-led clinics and perform Schedule 3 procedures. Client care is supported by a dedicated team of Client Care Advisors, allowing nurses to focus on clinical responsibilities and patient care. Our established training practice includes a nursing team of six (four RVNs and two VCAs), supported by reception staff and a Practice Manager.
