We’re proud to care for the animals of Orkney, in sickness and in health. We trace our history here back to 1861.

That’s why we understand that life is different here than down south, and do what we can to make life as easy as possible for our community.

Everyone, meet Emma!

Our newest recruit is mixed vet Emma, a proud Kerry woman from south-west Ireland. 🇮🇪

Emma studied veterinary medicine in Budapest and then worked in a veterinary practice back home in Ireland for a year and a half. She has now made the move to Orkney to join the Northvet team!

Emma is looking forward to exploring more of Orkney and maybe eventually understanding what everyone is saying!

In her spare time, you will either find Emma reading or having a few pints in the pub!🍻

Welcome to the team Emma! 😊
