Blaise has added to our extensive referral network, which now consists of over 100 referral sites across the UK & Ireland. In addition to our referral teams on site, the 24-hour hospital is home to our Vets Now at Blaise emergency service. 

As a Wards RVN, you’ll provide compassionate, high-quality care to a diverse caseload of hospitalised patients. Your responsibilities will include monitoring critical patients, administering treatments, managing nutrition plans, and ensuring the comfort of all inpatients.
