RCVS Accredited Veterinary Practice

Fairfield Veterinary Centre is the only RCVS Accredited Veterinary Practice in the Hinckley and Burbage area.

The Fairfield Veterinary Centre welcomes the new initiative from the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons to raise standards amongst the veterinary profession. The RCVS deals with issues of professional misconduct and aims to maintain a quality assurance framework to promote the highest standards of veterinary care.

With the emergence of "cost cutting clinics" and some "veterinary practices"' now neither owned nor managed by veterinary surgeons concerns have been raised regarding the provision of adequate care and sustaining public confidence in veterinary medicine.

The establishment of this new benchmark will offer peace of mind to those clients of accredited practices and allow greater choice for those who currently opt to have their pets treated at non accredited premises.

In order to achieve accreditation stringent standards have to be met and rigorous inspections are carried out every four years.

• 1) The monitoring and maintenance of anaesthesia
• 2) Level of nursing care
• 3) Well maintained facilities
• 4) Modern diagnostic equipment
• 5) Investment in further professional learning
• 6) Well stocked and maintained dispensing pharmacy

The Fairfield Veterinary Centre has always placed considerable emphasis on it's expertise and level of care. Consequently, there has always been significant investment on the continued education of our already highly qualified staff.

As an accredited practice we are now able to demonstrate to pet owners that not all veterinary practices are the same!

Accreditation provides official recognition of the high standards that already exist within the Fairfield Veterinary Centre.
