LVS reveals plans for new £8m animal hospital
Other highlights at the cutting-edge facility will be the first static high-field MRI for veterinary use within London, which will be supported by a specialist neurology service
London Vet Specialists (LVS) has unveiled the first artist’s impression of plans for its new £8m animal hospital in Hammersmith, London.
The 12,000 sq ft animal hospital will be the new home for Linnaeus-owned LVS, which is currently based in Belsize Park.
The move will also see its specialist-led team significantly expand, in turn enabling increased capacity to accept more referral cases from vet practitioners in and around the capital.
The new site will include nine consult rooms, a surgical suite containing three surgical theatres, a separate intensive care ward and an isolation ward.
Other highlights at the cutting-edge facility will be the first static high-field MRI for veterinary use within London, which will be supported by a specialist neurology service.
There will also be a 64-slice CT scanner, fluoroscopy and on-site laboratory enabling rapid diagnosis.
Emma Laws, hospital director at LVS, said: “The move to Hammersmith is a major milestone for LVS and one we are incredibly excited about. We’re really happy to be able to give people a sneak peek at what this brilliant new hospital will look like.
“It’s a much larger site than our current centre and will house some of the UK’s top veterinary specialists and state-of-the-art equipment, which will help us continue to provide the best treatment possible for patients.”
