Today is International Women's Day. We invite you to join us to celebrate the strong, caring & brilliant women in the veterinary profession.
It wasn’t until 1922 that the first woman, Aileen Cust, achieved MRCVS status, three years after the S*x Disqualification Act of 1919 which allowed women to enter the profession. Now, 100 years later, women make up the vast majority of veterinary applicants and qualified veterinary surgeons & over 95% of veterinary nurses!
So here’s to our awesome team at Bath Vet Referrals & here’s to strong women everywhere - ‘May we know them. May we be them. May we raise them.’

To celebrate our commitment to providing innovative and excellent patient care we have decided to rebrand.

Since opening, we have become a well-respected multidisciplinary referral centre situated in the South West of England. Our dedicated team of knowledgeable and professional referral clinicians and experienced nursing team offer an extensive referral service.

Our current brand has offered comfort and reassurance to many, however, after careful consideration we have decided to take steps to refresh our brand identity and to formally change our name to Bath Vet Referrals. These changes represent our desire to evolve and progress; our new branding also pays homage to Bath itself.

As of Autumn 2022, our new brand identity will gradually take hold. Our services, facilities and commitment will remain the same.

We are also delighted to announce that the Small Animal Rehabilitation Centre will now form part of the Bath Vet Referrals service. Formerly known as Bath Canine Hydrotherapy, the service will remain located at 494 Wellsway, Bath BA2 2UD. More information can be found via our website https://www.bathvetreferrals.co.uk/ .

The rebrand is a true demonstration of Bath Vet Referrals continual growth and reflects the hospital’s spirit and desire to offer a progressive and distinctive referral service.

Thank you for being part of our journey and look forward to sharing our new brand with you.

Cathy became IVC Evidensia's first Infection Prevention and Control ambassador in Spring 2020 at exactly the same time as the pandemic arrived in the UK. To support our practices with infection prevention and control and to address the concerns of antibiotic resistance the UK and Europe, IVC Evidensia aimed to build a program with guidelines, tools and resources accessible to all. The initial pilot program involved a small cohort of six practices in the UK alongside three practices in Sweden, Finland, The Netherlands and Germany.

Cathy met many challenges that are often experienced when making changes in an established team with perseverance and positivity. She communicated effectively with her practice team, leading the development of the practice IPC guidelines resulting in Bath Vet Group being the very first IVC Evidensia practice in the UK to be receive a Silver IPC Certification. Cathy dared to embrace the unknown, showing her care for patient safety, staff and client wellbeing and global health issues, coming up with creative innovations and sharing best practice and knowledge with her practice team.

Our story

Sarah Nehammer is Bath Veterinary Referrals Chartered physiotherapist (ACPAT) and offers both physiotherapy and hydrotherapy for cats and dogs.

Physiotherapy is used to assess and treat a wide range of pathologies and are can be tailored to provide physiotherapy treatment programmes to the individual animal. Animals, like people, respond well to physiotherapy and it could be used following a trauma, injury, or recent surgery.

Hydrotherapy provides partial weight bearing exercise which allows a more comfortable environment for treatment, as it reduces the stress on damaged tissues and joints following an operation or lameness. It also provides assisted walking within water following a neurological or spinal problem.

Sarah tailors each session and treatment plan to each individual cat or dog.
