Our Practices

An exciting opportunity has become available for an experienced veterinary surgeon to join the team at Berkshire Equine, part of the Newmarket Equine Hospital group. We are a busy, independent 4-vet equine veterinary practice based in Headley, Berkshire and we see a varied caseload including racehorses, elite competition horses and studwork.

We have vets with experience in all areas of equine veterinary medicine. The practice has rapidly grown over the last 5 years and we hope to continue this growth going forward. This role would suit an experienced veterinary surgeon with an interest in sports horses and/or racehorse work. We aim to provide a first-class service to our clients and we’re looking for another vet to join us in doing this. 

We have a happy, friendly, caring team that regularly socialise together. We hold monthly practice meetings with all vets and office members to discuss cases and make decisions as a team.

The successful candidate would be confident in all aspects of first opinion work including lameness investigation, pre-purchase examinations and diagnostic imaging. There is a wide variety of portable diagnostic equipment available to use including radiography, ultrasonography, gastroscopy and endoscopy. Cases requiring more detailed investigation or intervention can be referred to our sister practice Newmarket Equine Hospital.

The role offers a competitive salary and associated benefits to include work place pension scheme, generous CPD allowance, BEVA membership, RCVS & VDS fees paid and 25 days holiday.

For more information or an informal chat in confidence, please contact Charlotte Ingham on 07500171118 or Luke Hepburn on 07805950793.

Orthopaedic Surgery

Orthopaedics is the largest surgical discipline at NEH and concerns principally joints and bones, with the most common procedures including arthroscopic surgery and fracture repair.

Internal Medicine

Conditions treated by our internal medicine team include diseases of the airways, heart, intestines, liver, kidneys and circulatory system.

Soft Tissue Surgery

The major disciplines in equine soft tissue surgery include abdominal (colic) surgery, airway, and urogenital surgery.

Colic

Colic is one of the most common surgical emergencies in the horse, and success revolves around a highly trained rapid response team.

Wind Surgery & Breathing Problems

Breathing problems are a surprisingly common cause of poor performance in the horse.

Diagnostic Imaging

Diagnostic imaging is a term used to describe methods which allow us to visualise structures and activities inside the body.

Lameness & Poor Performance

We understand the frustrations involved when a horse’s ability to perform at expected levels is impaired. Our experienced clinicians can systematically assess the potential causes and advise on treatment.

Rehabilitation

An athletic injury can result in a prolonged period out of training with consequential physical restrictions for the whole horse.

Dentistry

Equine dental disease manifests in numerous ways, from difficulty in eating and nasal discharge to more subtle bitting and performance-related issues.

Consultant farrier Will O’Shaughnessy holds the Worshipful Company of Farriers (WCF) Diploma in Farriery
