Tour Burnham House Veterinary Surgery - our main branch
If you've visited us with your pet you will have seen our reception and consulting rooms. However, our Castle Street surgery is on five floors - find out a bit more about what goes on behind the scenes.
STREET LEVEL
This level is our "outpatients" floor, housing our reception area, three consulting rooms, dispensary, laundry and autoclave room.
GARDEN LEVEL
Downstairs, this level is our "inpatients" floor, with two inpatient ward rooms, isolation unit, dental theatre, radiography (x-ray) theatre, dark room, main theatre, and feed stores.
FIRST FLOOR
Upstairs we have our in-house laboratory along with bathroom, kitchen area, a study area, and the Practice Manager's office (nearest the biscuits)
SECOND FLOOR
Upstairs again, our meeting room for staff and educational projects, and Milly the dog's office (Jeremy thinks it's his office, but we all know better)
THIRD FLOOR
And finally, the top floor attic is where we store things like x-ray films, paperwork, our educational and display equipment, etc. You are very fit indeed if you can go from kennels to the attic in one go!
OUTSIDE
Our gardens have pens and aviaries to house wildlife patients that would rather be kept out of doors.
OUT AND ABOUT
Some patients are more reluctant than others...
