Coronavirus update for referral vets
Due to the current COVID-19 pandemic and restrictions, we are unfortunately unable to operate a normal referral service due to lower staffing levels and the priority to continue running out emergency service. All non-urgent cases have been postponed. We will aim to see urgent/emergency cases; however, the availability of services may vary during this time. We therefore request you call us on 01903 234866 as well as to submit the on-line referral form to establish our availability and to triage the cases.
Telemedicine referral consultations for urgent/emergency dermatology cases are available.
We will be monitoring the situation closely and will keep you updated about our referral services.
*Please be aware that we will be unable to accept any new Ophthalmology Referrals from the end of February 2020. We will be continuing to have an Ophthalmology Referral Service going forward but there will be a slight interruption to the service which is sadly outside of our control. We will update the situation asap.*
To refer an emergency, please telephone us on 01903 234 866 before submitting the online referral form.
Referrals can be arranged online using the referral form below. Referral forms should be accompanied by a full medical history, including laboratory results, radiographs and results of any other investigations if possible. On receipt of the referral form, the referral department will contact your client directly to arrange an appointment. They will also inform you, the referring veterinary surgeon, of the arranged appointment by email. Please note we are unable to book an appointment for your pet until we have received the pet's full history.
For vets wishing to discuss a case prior to referring to us, please contact us at the Hospital on 01903 234866.
If you have any queries please email referrals@grovelodgevets.co.uk.
This referral form must be completed by the referring Veterinary Surgeon only. If you are a pet owner wishing to arrange a referral for your pet, please discuss with your own vet, who will happily advise and arrange a referral for your pet.
