Why are Willows Specialists, special?

13 August 2019

The Specialist vets working at here at Willows provide the highest levels of care for dogs and cats referred to us by veterinary surgeons across the UK. Within the practice we have a large team of highly trained and skilled veterinary Specialists working in a number of disciplines. If your dog or cat is being referred to us by your veterinary surgeon, you can rest assured that our team of Specialist vets will provide the best care possible, whatever the problem may be.

An officially recognised veterinary Specialist is an individual who has had advanced training leading to Diploma status in their field of expertise and who also fulfils other stringent criteria, such as those regarding their involvement in clinical work and research, as well as other responsibilities including the training of others involved in the veterinary profession. Specialist vet status is extremely difficult both to achieve and to maintain, and it is the highest level of recognition of expertise that can be attained in clinical veterinary work.

Willows personnel have been actively involved in clinical research and continuing professional development for nearly 30 years. This activity, along with the training of Residents, Interns and visiting veterinary professionals has helped to keep Willows Referral Service at the forefront of small animal healthcare provision over that time. Our Specialist vets have national and international reputations and most have written scientific papers, published in text books and regularly speak at local, national and international meetings. https://www.willows.uk.net/en-GB/veterinary-professionals/scientific-publications
