Overnight patient care

At Granta Veterinary Specialists, we are committed to providing high-quality, compassionate care for all patients staying with us overnight. Our hospital has a veterinary surgeon on site 24 hours a day, seven days a week, ensuring veterinary support is always available should your pet need it.

Individualised treatment and care

Every hospitalised patient has an individual treatment and monitoring plan developed by the veterinary surgeon responsible for their care. This is recorded in our electronic patient care system, VetRadar, and guides our overnight team in delivering the treatments, observations and care each patient requires.

Overnight nursing care and monitoring

Our overnight team includes Registered Veterinary Nurses (RVNs) and Patient Care Assistants (PCAs), who provide care according to each patient’s individual needs. The frequency and type of monitoring are determined by the veterinary surgeon based on your pet’s clinical condition. Our nurses also use their professional judgement to introduce additional observations or checks whenever necessary.

Enhanced and one-to-one care

Some patients require more intensive monitoring or nursing support. Where clinically necessary, enhanced monitoring or dedicated one-to-one care is provided to ensure patients receive the additional attention their condition requires.

Veterinary Support 24/7 – A veterinary surgeon is physically present in the hospital 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

Our nursing team is trained to recognise changes in a patient’s condition and can seek immediate veterinary assistance whenever concerns arise. Treatment and monitoring plans are reviewed and adjusted according to each patient’s needs.

Our commitment to your pet

We understand that leaving your pet in hospital overnight can be worrying. Our approach ensures that every patient receives individualised care, appropriate monitoring and compassionate attention throughout their stay.
