About HEC and our caseload

Hambleton Equine Clinic (HEC) is a  specialist equine practice located in beautiful North Yorkshire and housed in a state-of-the-art purpose-built clinic. Typically, we see approximately 5000 horses through the year and we have a wide range patients with a varied caseload. On average, we will operate on between 300-450 cases per year and the hospital is overseen by an RCVS-registered specialist in equine surgery and Diplomate of the ACVS and ECVS. There is one advanced practitioner in orthopaedic surgery and an advanced practitioner in internal medicine. In addition to this we run a specialist referral ophthalmology service and dental service so interns will  have good exposure to a wide range of advanced cases during their time with us. The practice also has a busy reproductive team and we are also situated next to a stud farm, meaning there will also be significant exposure to this aspect of equine veterinary practice.

 

Support while you are here

We believe that we have a significant part to play in the future of the veterinary profession so it is important to us that your experience reflects that ethos, and that we support you throughout your time here. We operate a mentor system and have specific vets dedicated to improving your competency in various areas of veterinary practice. Your time here will include specific learning goals and you will know just who to ask for help at every turn.

 

Facilities

HEC is fully equipped for diagnostic processes including radiography, ultrasonography, a Hallmarq standing MRI unit and nuclear scintigraphy. We have a spacious purpose-built equine theatre with knock down/recovery box, standing surgery and ICU boxes. Your internship will cover surgical, anaesthesia and medical key skills.

 

Why do this?

We believe that the internship will provide the successful applicant with all the necessary skills to go on to general practice and also offer a sound platform to advance into a residency program. It is a friendly team so we are looking for candidates who enjoy their work and will be enthusiastic members of our staff – it will be hard work but very rewarding.
