Building Work Progresses On Our New Veterinary Hospital

We are delighted to announce that work has commenced on building the new small animal veterinary hospital. The start was delayed by 10 months due to a threat by Staffordshire County Council to close Fosseway Lane. This threat has now been lifted after a prolonged campaign by local people and clients.

Our contractors have moved in and have already poured new footings and started building the outer wall. The outline of the new facility can now made out although there is a long way to go!!

The partners are delighted to be able to announce that they have acquired a site on Fosseway lane, Lichfield with planning consent for a new Small Animal Hospital.

The project has been under development for the last three years and preparatory building work has already commenced

This agricultural barn will be completely transformed into a modern Veterinary Hospital.

The practice hopes to vacate its present site, Pool House, within the next 18 months. Pool House has been the home of the practice for the last 40 years and under went a major upgrading and renovation programme in the early eighties to achieve ‘hospital’ status. Although ‘state of the art’ at the time progress in veterinary medicine and the general increase in the size of the practice has meant that Pool House is becoming increasingly overwhelmed with the volume of work and now needs further renovation. The partners have felt for some time that a new out of town site with better access and parking facilities was essential if Pool House Veterinary Group was to remain the leading provider of pet health care in the area.

The new premises will include:-

• Large client parking area.
• Four separate operating theatres including dedicated orthopaedic and dental theatres.
• A diagnostic imaging suite.
• An in house laboratory.
• Separate kennelling facilities for cats, rabbits and dogs.
• Overnight rest facilities for staff providing out of hours emergency care.
• A modern comfortable waiting area for clients.
• Easy access for clients living in Burntwood and Armitage as well as those in Lichfield.
• Improved disabled access.

Further information will be posted on our web site as the scheme progresses.
