What do you mean by 'Certificate Holder'?

When a Veterinary Surgeon develops a special interest within the field of Veterinary Surgery or Medicine he or she can take additional examinations to gain this further qualification. Numerous subjects are available including surgery; cardiology (heart medicine); ophthalmology (eyes –medicine and surgery); dermatology (skin) amongst many others. The Veterinary Surgeon needs to have a certain level of experience, dealt with enough cases and written up a series of reports to a high level before being allowed to take the examinations. Thus, it is a recognised and difficult qualification to gain.

Are there any Certificate Holders at Moor Cottage?

At present we have a Certificate Holder in Ophthalmology and a Certificate Holder in General Practice (Medicine and Surgery). We also have visiting Certificate Holders in Dermatology and Cardiology, whilst one of our vets has further qualifications in Acupuncture. This means that we can offer a wide range of services under one roof without the need to refer you further away.
