Gourley Vets reopens after £700k refurb
Refurbished preparation areas, walk in kennels for larger dogs, an isolation unit and a staff hub have also been added
Gourley Vets in Ashton-under-Lyne has reopened its doors after undergoing a £700,000 refurbishment.
The refurbishment took three months to complete, and the practice has now been redesigned with the “latest” facilities and equipment, to accommodate more clients and offer more veterinary services to their pets.
The reception area has been reconfigured to be more spacious, with separate waiting areas for cats and dogs to keep stress to a minimum for these patients.
Internally, the layout of the building has been altered to create five “modern” consulting rooms, whereas previously there were three.
These include a dedicated consulting room for nurse clinics in order that new services can be run, comprising; healthy pet club checks, weight management and general health enquiries.
Behind the scenes, two operating theatres have been completely refurbished along with a dedicated dental room to incorporate digital dental X-ray.
Refurbished preparation areas, walk in kennels for larger dogs, an isolation unit and a staff hub have also been added.
In addition, the practice has invested in “cutting edge” equipment to diagnose and treat its animal patients, in the form of ultrasound, endoscopy, digital X-ray, dental X-ray and specialised ophthalmology equipment.
The veterinary practice has also been given a complete refresh, with new heating and air conditioning installed.
Amanda Smith, clinical director at Gourley Vets, said: “As an established veterinary service in the local community we are excited that this refurbishment places us in a position to continue serving the Ashton-under-Lyne area for many years to come. Our newly designed building will provide us with a fresh modern practice ready for the future – to represent the veterinary profession’s new modern approach to providing veterinary care.”
