SARAH HOLLANDVILLA,
SENIOR IMAGING CONSULTANT

Being part of the Vet-IR network is very important to me, although I’ve been a consultant for four years now I can always draw upon the experience of everyone else at Vet-IR. I have the back up from the team whenever I need it and a very well organised system of getting my images sent to our interpreting vets and reports send back very quickly. I could not provide the service I do without Vet-IR.

JULES LA GARDE,
FOUNDING MEMBER

Providing a quality controlled, vet lead imaging service in then only way this modality will move forward.
All aspects of the service are critical to ensure the best results we can for the animal so this has to be a multi-discipline team approach.
Being part of the Vet-IR network provides the service with excellent veterinary interpretation, centralised quality controlled standards, ongoing CPD for all team members, case sharing for enhanced understanding or pattern recognition and constant sharing and discussion as the science evolves.
There is no way I would be able to achieve this as a sole operating technician.
