Just as in human medicine, there are sometimes cases which will need to be referred to a specialist in a particular field.

If you are advised that your pet would benefit from seeing a veterinary specialist, you may be referred to our small animal referral hospital - The Queen Mother Hospital for Animals (QMHA) near Potters Bar in Hertfordshire.

The QMHA is Europe's largest small animal hospital and offers a large range of clinical services, including Neurology and Neurosurgery, Orthopaedics, Ophthalmology and Soft Tissue Surgery. The specialists at our referral hospital work together in a transdisciplinary way, which means that complex cases can be assessed, treated and cared for by one of the biggest teams in the world, working together under one roof.
