Facilities
Manchester Veterinary Specialists is a highly specialised Orthopaedic referral centre, staffed by some of the most experienced Surgeons in the Northwest of England.
Waiting Room
Upon arrival, we welcome both clients and pets to our specific waiting area, which has been designed to create a relaxed and informative environment whilst you wait for your appointment. We understand that veterinary visits can be stressful, so we aim to provide a relaxed environment to ensure a positive experience. A quieter waiting room may be of benefit to some of our neurodiverse pet owners. Our clients can enjoy refreshments, access to Wi-Fi and restroom facilities.
Consulting Rooms
You will be directed to the consulting room from the customer experience zone by our consultants at the time of your appointment.
Orthopaedics
Our Specialist-led team of surgeons carry out an extensive range of procedures in our purpose-built theatres. Superb on-site CT, along with all the latest surgical technology, underpin the activities of our surgeons whilst a patient’s surgical experience is further optimised by close involvement of our splendid anaesthesia and nursing teams.
Diagnostic Imaging
Our 16-slice CT scanner provides excellent image quality, allowing us to provide the best quality care for your pets/patients. Our experienced nursing team have worked closely with Specialist radiologists to devise the best protocols to produce the highest quality images. We also have remote access to a team of Specialist radiologists if our surgeons require assistance alongside our real-time image assessment.
Treatment Facilities
Manchester Veterinary Specialists has two operating theatres. The theatres are equipped with surgical equipment required for procedures such as fracture fixation and total hip replacement, as well as equipment required for minimally invasive ‘key-hole’ procedures (arthroscopy). We also have a fluoroscopic unit used for acquiring real-time intraoperative images during procedures. Our theatres are fully equipped with new anaesthetic machines, ventilators and multi-parameter monitoring systems.
Onsite Laboratory
We have the ability to perform urgent laboratory testing for your pet on-site but we will elect to send your pet’s samples off to an external specialist laboratory for more in-depth testing.
Kennels
We have state-of-the-art kennel facilities for both dogs and cats, which are located in separate areas of the hospital. The kennels are designed to make your pet’s stay with us as comfortable and stress-free as possible.
Additional facilities include:
- Client and staff car park
- Fully accessible building
- Outdoor space and grassland for exercising pets.
