About us:
We are a tier 3 hospital status practice with a fantastic local reputation and have been with Vet Partners since March 2019. Ashfield House is a bit of a hybrid between first opinion and a referral clinic, due to both the facilities available and the experience of our team. We currently have 17 vets, which are a mix of full-time and part time.
The main hospital has access to a high-end ultrasound machine, digital radiography, dental radiography, endoscopy/rhinoscopy/bronchoscopy, electrocautery, laparoscopy, tonometry and slit lamp and more. Building work is to begin in January and is scheduled to be completed by April on an extension to the hospital. This project will include the installation of a CT scanner.
We are fortunate to have many certificate holders at Ashfield House, these include Surgery, Internal Medicine, Ophthalmology, Anaesthesia and Dermatology. We currently have vets working towards certificates in Surgery, Imaging, Internal Medicine and Endoscopy.
The Area:
The wonderful town of Long Eaton is situated midway between Nottingham and Derby. With easy access from the J24 and J25 of the M1, Long Eaton also features its own train station, great bus service and is only a short distance from East Midlands Airport making this a fantastic opportunity for commuters!
The Team:
We are a friendly team of likeminded professionals, with a shared view of caring for our customers beloved pets as if they were our own. The practice currently consists of 17 vets, 23 nurses and 16 support colleagues.
