Blaise Veterinary Referral Hospital is a large-scale, multi-disciplinary, specialist-led referral hospital which encompasses the culture and values we pride ourselves on at IVC Evidensia. 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.
In partnership with Vets Now, the UK's leading provider of emergency pet care, our out-of-hours team are here to provide an emergency service to local first opinion practices at nights, weekends and bank holidays, and to also ensure continuity of care for inpatients that have been seen by our referral team.

As well as being responsible for new emergencies coming in to the hospital, you will work closely with our specialist ECC team on stabilising and monitoring complex cases in the ICU, meaning you will see a stimulating and varied caseload with clinical independence and make an immediate difference to the pets you treat on every shift.
We bring people together to make animal care better. We are building the world's best veterinary group with a single purpose; healthy animals and happy owners. We are committed to investing in the career progression of our people and we expect our Senior Vets to take control of their own career through challenging themselves.
