At the core of The Beeches is its exceptional nursing team, a group of skilled and confident professionals who play a pivotal role in delivering top-notch care. Areas of specific interest for the nursing team include CertECC ISFM DipFN and soon-to-be NCert AnBehn. With nurses undertaking dental scale and polishing, a dedicated ward nurse, as well as an ops support nurse, the practice runs smoothly.

The team have access to an internal lab, digital x-ray, ultrasound, endoscopes, and dental x-ray, offering everything they need to provide the best care. Close links with sister practices at Bath Vet Group and Hungerford Vets offer opportunities for collaboration and a wealth of opportunities for shared knowledge and expertise.
There’s support for career development too, with the opportunity to undertake further learning in the form of certification and tailored CPD.
