The farm client base includes approximately 200 family-run beef and sheep units, with a small number of dairy farms. Many of these clients have been with the practice for generations and are located within a 15-mile radius of Neath. The small animal caseload is busy and well-established, with surgical procedures carried out at the main centre and consultations at the branch surgeries.

We provide our own out-of-hours service for registered clients and offers 24-hour on-site nursing care. Calls are answered and triaged by the duty nurse, ensuring continuity of care.

The veterinary team is a mix of experience levels, from recent graduates to seasoned practitioners. Several team members hold postgraduate certificates, and the practice actively supports ongoing professional development. Clinicians work to their strengths, with mixed and small animal roles reflected in daily schedules and team communications.

The practice is well-equipped with modern facilities. Small animal services include digital radiography, ultrasound, ECG, and an in-house laboratory. Farm services feature portable scanners, electro-ejaculators for rams and bulls, faecal egg count testing, and on-site treatment facilities for small ruminants.

The nursing team plays a vital role, offering strong support to the vets, running nurse clinics, and contributing to the practice`s status as an RCVS-accredited nurse training centre.
