WELCOME TO AN ACCREDITED PRACTICE!

RCVS ACCREDITATION

We are pleased to announce, that after an inspection from the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons, Blackheath Veterinary Surgery is now an accredited practice.

What does this mean for you and your pet(s)?

The Royal Veterinary College of Veterinary Surgeons (RCVS) regulates the veterinary profession.  This includes individual veterinary surgeons and, more recently, the practices in which the veterinary team works.

To be accredited, we have passed a rigorous inspection carried out by an experienced veterinary surgeon.  Areas covered included hygiene, health and safety, and the facilities and equipment provided, to name just a few of the many criteria - please see list below.

RCVS accreditation means

  • peace of mind for you
  • quality care for your animals
  • regular inspections for the practice

Are all accredited practices the same?

There are many different types of veterinary practice.  Some, such as veterinary hospitals, offer a very broad range of services.  Others concentrate on particular species or disciplines.  Some are general practices, others may just offer vaccinations and worming, or minor surgery.

This practice is proud to be an RCVS Accredited General Practice.

  • meeting with core standards, including a range of legal and health and safety requirements
  • having in place arrangements for 24-hour emergency cover for patients
  • having a policy to make clients aware of arrangements for checking and monitoring patients if kept in overnight
  • having a system for monitoring the outcome of treatments
  • showing an ongoing commitment to education and training of staff
  • keeping premises clean and maintained
  • having a policy for communicating with clients and looking at feedback
  • having procedures to give estimates of treatment costs and obtain consent to procedures undertaken
  • having access to laboratory facilities for diagnostic testing
  • having appropriately-trained staff for the nature of the work undertaken in the practice
