Our kennel assistant team are at the hub of the hospital helping to care for unwell patients who either need close monitoring and care on any of our seven wards. The hospital ward team care for both primary and referral patients from simple to complex cases so there are a variety of patient needs to accommodate. They come in all shapes, sizes and temperaments, so every night is different to the previous on. The team currently consists of a Vet, 4 Nurses, 2 Kennel Assistants and one intern. We also have students on rotation from the University of Nottingham.
