Construction landmark for new vet hospital

Milestone external works on a new £1.3 million veterinary hospital have been completed and the internal fit-out is now due to begin. 

Once finished, the new three-storey home for Northlands Veterinary Hospital in Kettering, Northamptonshire, will feature:

• four theatres – two general, one orthopeadic and one dental
• three separate wards for cats, dogs and exotics
• a diagnostic lab
• a large waiting room with dedicated areas for cats and dogs
• four consulting rooms (one exclusively for cats)
• a bereavement room
• dispensary
• laser therapy treatment room

Investment

Independent rooms will be created for the practice’s ultrasound machine, digital x-ray and £150,000 CT scanner.

The work will be a major upgrade for Northlands and its local sister practice The Avenue Veterinary Clinic – part of the VetPartners veterinary group.

The project, which has a budget of around £1.3 million, is part of a £20 million investment in new practice sites by VetPartners in 2020.
