South-West gets new clinical facility
University of Bristol launches new service.

The University of Bristol's wholly owned Langford Veterinary Services (LVS) arm has announced the completion of new multi-million pound clinical facilities. The ￡13 million development includes a new small animal surgery building, fives theatres, an ICU, a dedicated anaesthesia induction, a recovery area and an imaging suite.

Reflecting the requirements of modern veterinary practice, the new facilities are well-equipped. The imaging suite alone possesses a 16-slice CT scanner, conventional digital radiography with a DR system, a high-resolution fluoroscopy, diagnostic ultrasound, echocardiography, scintigraphy and a high-resolution 1.5 Tesla MRI scanner available on a 24/7 basis.

The LVS operates the animal hospital and provides first opinion veterinary practices for the University of Bristol's School of Clinical Veterinary Science, which operates out of Langford House. The school offers clinical teaching and welfare research. It is hoped that the new facilities and the services that are now available will provide a vital service to local pets and their owners.

Chief Executive of LVS Lynne Hill said “The new facility provides state of the art diagnostic imaging facilities at all times, to help the animals under our care.”
