A new UK-wide equine brand has been created by IVC Evidensia after a surge in equine teams joining over the past 18 months.
The recent influx has massively strengthened the equine network and the
IVC Evidensia Equine Vets brand has been created in collaboration with the companies
Equine Clinical Board, which is made up of working equine vets representing the diverse portfolio of practices.
Improving communication and vet services across equine vets
The new Equine Vets brand will allow better communication for equine teams within the IVC Evidensia group as well as collaboration with the wider equine world. IVC Evidensia Equine Vets network now has almost 300 equine vets, ranging from graduates to European Specialists.
The group’s equine makeup is split equally between dedicated equine and mixed practice, with all practices supported by the four large equine veterinary referral hospitals in the UK – Donnington Grove Veterinary Group, Fyrnwy Equine Group, Oakham Veterinary Hospital and Pool House Equine.
A fifth of the practices encompass staff with Advanced Practitioner or above qualifications and a quarter house operating theatres. With a third having stabling, there is a wide variety of support options for case workups and much more.
Staff in the network can also make use of the state-of-the-art facilities at the renowned
Donnington Grove Equine Laboratory in Berkshire.
