Why High Standards Matter: Behind the Scenes at Davies Veterinary Specialists

When you trust us with your pet’s care, you’re placing them in the hands of a team that goes above and beyond—not just in treatment, but in every detail that ensures safety and quality. Our recent RCVS Practice Standards assessment highlighted what makes Davies stand out, and we’re proud to share some of the feedback.

Infection Control: A Standout Feature

During our last inspection, infection control was highlighted as one of our strongest areas. This recognition reflects our commitment to maintaining a clean, safe environment for every patient. From surgical suites to consultation rooms, we follow rigorous protocols to protect your pet and ensure the highest standards of hygiene.

“Infection control is non-negotiable for us,” says Laura Barham, Clinical Governance Lead. “It’s about safeguarding every patient and giving owners peace of mind.”

Pharmacy Excellence: Safe and Reliable

Medication safety is critical. Our pharmacy and medicine handling were described as “some of the best I have seen” by the assessor. From dispensing medicines to auditing controlled drugs, our systems are designed for accuracy, security, and patient safety.

Our People: Knowledgeable, Passionate, Exceptional

What really stood out during the assessment? Our team. Every member interviewed was praised for their knowledge, passion, and commitment to excellence. These aren’t just words—they’re the reason we maintain such high clinical and non-clinical standards.

“Our people are our greatest asset,” says Laura. “Their dedication is what makes these systems work and keeps your pets safe.”

Why This Matters for You and Your Vet

For pet owners, this means peace of mind: your pet is cared for in a clean, safe, and expertly managed environment. For referring vets, it means confidence that your patients are in a centre that prioritises infection control, medicine safety, and continuous improvement.
