19th-23rd July 2010 we participated in National Veterinary Nursing Week
Click on the thumbnails for a closer look...

During this week was a chance for veterinary nurses across the country to promote their profession and importance within the veterinary practice.

At Crossroads we promoted our nursing team by holding an open evening on Thursday 22nd July from 7.30-9.30pm. We demonstrated our role within our practice and gave careers advise to any budding veterinary nurses of the future. Those present had an opportunity to venture round the back to see behind the scenes.


GREAT NEWS!!!

PDSA or Peoples Dispensary for Sick Animals to offer Petaid practice in High Wycombe Crossroads Veterinary are pleased to announce that as from 1st October 06 we are joining the PDSA Petaid scheme for pet owners who are in receipt of Housing benefit or council tax benefit. What does this mean? well if you are a pet owner who receives benefits as mentioned then contact the practice for a leaflet for the scheme and call the number on it. The PDSA will then explain how it works and you will receive a registration form. Once this is complete and the PDSA have received and checked details they will issue you with a certificate for the named pet.

What costs are covered? the scheme is for sick and injured animals and so they will not pay for vaccinations and routine neutering which of course are recommended as basic animal care, but once you are registered with Crossroads and the PDSA Petaid scheme you can book your pet in for an appointment for veterinary treatment. The scheme does not cover breeding of your pet especially for financial gain.

Your certificate will be valid for 6 or 12 months and they PDSA will contact you to renew as necessary. Only one pet per household is allowed but you can select to chose to name another pet at re registration time.

So call in to the practice or look out for posters at local community centres etc and contact the number if you think you may be entitled to Petaid and get registered.

To all our clients who may ask will this affect the practice or the way the practice works in anyway? no not at all the Veterinary Centre will continue as we have for many years offering the best in pet healthcare and client care we can. Clients will not in any way see fee increases to assist the scheme as it is run and funded by the PDSA not the practice. We are just able to offer a little something back to the community and see clients here who may have had to travel out of the area to seek subsidised pet care.

Do you know a friend, family member or neighbour who may benefit from this scheme and not be aware of it? young or old alike, please let them know about it.

Crossroads Vets are based at 54 West Wycombe road High Wycombe, Amersham Road - Hazlemere and Couching Street- Watlington
Kind regards
