The practice & team.
Village Vet Milton is a well-equipped 24-hour hospital in Cambridge, providing a varied veterinary service with access to excellent diagnostic facilities and experienced clinical colleagues.

Whether your interests lie in dentistry, diagnostic imaging, ECC or another clinical discipline, there is scope to develop your skills and explore further qualifications as part of your role.
