Liverpool was the first veterinary school in the UK to be part of a University, and has always been a leading education provider for the vets of the future. The University of Liverpool Small Animal Teaching Hospital (SATH), based at Leahurst Campus on the Wirral Peninsula, is a busy multidisciplinary referral and teaching hospital, seeing over 12,000 appointments per year, and has an annual turnover of £8 million. The SATH is an ECVIM approved training centre in cardiology, internal medicine and oncology, and has European College approved residency programmes in imaging, neurology, dermatology, surgery and anaesthesia. There is excellent multidisciplinary support from colleagues in neurology, soft tissue, imaging, internal medicine, orthopaedics and anaesthesia. The caseload is large and diverse.

You will be MRCVS and either ECVIM or ECVDI with Add Rad Oncol, or ACVR board certified, or eligible.
