Our team
Lis Watson is an RCVS Recognised Advanced Practitioner in Equine Medicine, and we are equipped to see a full range of equine medical cases, including more unusual ones.
In support of our RCVS Recognised Advanced Practitioners, we have excellent facilities at our Upleatham Equine Unit, allowing us to investigate medical cases to a high level.
From 24-hour ECG to our in-house lab, to gastroscopy and detailed ultrasound examination of the equine abdomen, we can get you the answers and treatment your horse needs.
