About Us

Park Veterinary Centre is a well-established first opinion practice, with roots in Hertfordshire going back over 100 years. We are close to the local countryside while being only a short train journey from London.

You will be joining a busy, well-equipped practice, where every team member, including reception, accounts staff, veterinary care assistants, Vets, and Nurses, aspire to achieve higher standards.

Along with RCVS GP status, we are a nurse training practice, with well-trained Registered Veterinary Nurses, many of whom are working towards advanced certifications.

We are fully equipped with ultrasound, endoscopy, laparoscopy, ECG, and multi-modal monitors.

We currently have 7 FTE Veterinary Surgeons and 13 Registered Veterinary Nurses/Students. We also employ several Support Staff so that our clinical team can concentrate on patient care.

One of our Veterinary Surgeons has recently passed her GPCert, and one has a special interest in exotics, and along with several of our Nurses helps a local wildlife charity with their veterinary needs.

Our Vets are diagnosticians, medics, and surgeons, and we are keen to support special interests and CPD.
