BrAVO (British Association of Veterinary Ophthalmologists) is delighted to invite all our members, new and old, to our annual Winter Meeting held at the Crowne Plaza, Stratford upon Avon, on 6th – 8th of November 2026. Don’t miss out on this great opportunity to connect with fellow professionals; come and exchange ideas, collaborate, and enjoy high quality education.
Excellent relocation opportunity for a leading ophthalmologist to live and work in the only hospital of this type so close to Central London. That means incredible transport links, endless opportunities for continued service and team growth plus prestigious city culture like no other.
Having 48 vet owned and independent referring in surgeries of our own with scope to attract more cases purely through such a coveted location, referral system and service demand, we are passionate about welcoming an ophthalmologist to lead and grow our service. We are keen to receive interest from ophthalmologists who are either a Diplomate or Residency trained.
Due to location, it’s incredibly rare to see a referral service in such a large multi-disciplinary hospital in a more central location of London. The extension of our current 24 hour surgery offers Neurology, advanced Orthopaedic, advanced Imaging (with MRI and CT), Internal Medicine and advanced Dentistry and opens in Summer 2025.
Putting the final touches to the extension of an already immense London service, we have all the equipment you would expect of a busy referral ophthalmology service. DNA Vetcare are already providers in this specialism and our outstandingly successful Eye Vetcare referrals have been live in Kent since 2021 hence we are now proud to extend our team and enter the bustling bright lights and attract the eager referral clientele of London.
To find out more about this exceptional opportunity to work and live in London, within a team who thrive on progression and the highest standards of clinical care in every field, please contact our Director, Claire Baker : claire@dnavetcare.co.uk for a confidential call and more in depth information. I apologise this advertisement is neither stuffy, AI generated nor wastes time listing equipment we clearly have in order to provide such a first class referral.
