About Us
Kingston Vet Group is one of the fastest growing practices in East Yorkshire with a very busy but varied caseload. The group have five well-equipped branch surgeries which are supported by a fantastic Tier 3 Hospital.
No two days are the same for an RVN at Kingston Vets. Our RVN’s run clinics every day of the week for second adult vaccinations, flea and worming, nail clipping, puppy and kitten chats and many more. We have a designated dental surgery branch which allows some of our nursing team to monitor these complex anaesthetics and ensure dental records are completed. Four of our branch surgeries carry out routine surgery and our RVN’s ensure these days run smoothly and keep our patients well cared for. If theatre is your passion then our Park Street hospital is the place for you with a wide range of referral cases. This is a great opportunity to develop your nursing skill set.
