🌟 Veterinary Nurse Awareness Month 🌟

🐕🐈‍⬛🐇🩺
Each May we celebrate Veterinary Nursing Awareness Month. Having now run for over 20 years, the campaign celebrates what it means to be a veterinary nurse, raising awareness of the significant contributions made by veterinary nurses to animal health and welfare.

We are so lucky to work with a team of incredibly skilled and vastly experienced registered veterinary nurses, who are able to anticipate the needs of every patient and ensure each visit is as comfortable and stress free as possible.

MVS is a ISFM and Fear Free certified practice. Both projects were championed and completed by two of our nurses who are passionate about tailoring our clinic to dogs and cats specific needs, prevent fear and anxiety wherever possible.

A lot goes on alongside a nurses immediate clinical role. Our client liaison, quality improvement sector, laboratory, diagnostic imaging, pharmaceutical management, ordering, student nurse training and even our social media platforms are all managed by our exceptional nurse team here at MVS.

Veterinary nursing is skill, knowledge, resilience, advocacy, empathy, and passion. It is so much more than assisting the vets. It is a profession in its own right, and it deserves to be seen. They are there for the difficult moments, the final moments, to reassure and comfort, to adapt, to calculate, to remain calm and patient under pressure.

Let’s all say an enormous thank you to all the nurses here at MVS and beyond! ❤️

🐾 Owner Information: Insurance Claims and Payment Plans 🐾

Please watch this short video that hopefully answers any questions or concerns you may have about insurance claims here at MVS. If you have insurance for your pet, we offer a direct claim process which means you will not have to pay for the cost of the treatment upfront. We appreciate that not every pet is insured, and if so this video contains information about our payment plans that we may be able to offer, subject to credit check requirements.

Thank you for your time ☺️

We are overwhelmed with the response to this article and are glad to have been such an impactful part of Barney’s care ❤️⭐️🙌

🐾 CVS Manchester Veterinary Specialists in the media 🐾

Our Manchester Veterinary Specialists team has been featured in the Manchester Evening News following a great clinical outcome for Barney, a Cocker Spaniel who underwent a bilateral hip replacement.

Barney’s treatment was led by our colleague Ben Keeley, European and RCVS Specialist in Small Animal Surgery (Orthopaedics), alongside our wider specialist nursing and support teams at the hospital.

The case highlights the dedication of our teams to improving quality of life for patients with complex orthopaedic conditions. Bilateral hip replacement is a highly specialised procedure and seeing this work recognised in regional media is a testament to the skill, collaboration and commitment of everyone involved in Barney’s care.

It’s always encouraging to see specialist veterinary medicine reaching a wider audience and helping pet owners understand what’s possible with the right expertise and facilities.

Huge congratulations to Ben and the entire Manchester Veterinary Specialists team for this well‑deserved recognition.

We are extremely sad to report that our receptionist Steph will be leaving the team this week. She will be missed greatly by all of us and I’m sure any of our clients who have had the pleasure to meet her.

Here is a message from her;
“After nearly 9 years at MVS, i have made the difficult decision to move on.

I just wanted to take a moment to say a heartfelt thank you to all of the clients I’ve had the pleasure of speaking with over the years. Being part of your pets’ care — even from behind the scenes — has meant more to me than you probably realise. I’ve shared in your worries, your updates, and your happy moments, and I’ve genuinely cared about each and every one.

Your kindness, patience, and trust have never gone unnoticed, and I feel incredibly lucky to have been part of such a compassionate community.

I will truly miss this role and all the connections that came with it, but I’m excited to be starting a new chapter.

Wishing you and your pets all the love, health, and happiness in the world. Steph x”
