We currently have 3 Veterinary Surgeons, 4 Registered Veterinary Nurses and 3 Client Care Coordinators. 

We opened in 2013 and are a small animal only practice. We are equipped with a great quality ultrasound machine, multi-parameter monitoring and digital x-ray (including dental). We have achieved our silver cat-friendly status. The prep area is the heart of the building with separate dog and cat wards, an operating theatre and x-ray/ultrasound room branching off. There are 3 consulting rooms with access to dispensary and our lab area is complete with the full IDEXX Blood and Urinary machine range and microscope. We have a separate team room with comfy sofas so you can relax on your breaks.

White Cross Vets is a family. Generally, our people don’t leave us! The wellbeing of our teams is very important. We make time during working hours each month for our team to spend time with one another in wellbeing sessions. Recent sessions at Tividale included playing games, making bath bombs, watching Cool Runnings and up-cycling glass jars by painting them to make tea light holders . We like to celebrate personal wins and reward our people. Your colleague may have had a really tough week so we may suggest a wellbeing day, another may have gone above and beyond, so we send them a treat. Every team member also has 5 nominations called ‘Lolas’ per month to give recognition to colleagues. These add up over the year and rewards are given accordingly.

"I started working for White Cross Vets in April 2013, when the practice opened. We're a lovely small team who all work closely together. I particularly enjoy nurse consults and this is my area of focus. Throughout my time at White Cross I enjoy our monthly wellness sessions and as a team we keep each other stocked up on tea/ coffee and snacks." - Gemma Ward, Registered Veterinary Nurse
