Hollow Park Staffing Update 2025

Just a wee update on some staffing changes.

From 14 th December 2024, our much loved Vet, Kennedy Mason, will be moving on in her
veterinary journey to work in North Ayrshire. Whilst we always knew Kennedy would only be
with us for a short time in her career, she will leave a huge gap in our hearts from her time
with us. We wish Kennedy a very fond farewell and all the best in this next stage of her
career. It has been a delight to work with her and we are sure that this is not goodbye.

Another update is that from 1 st January 2025, we are pleased to announce Veterinary
Surgeon Rebekah Hobson will be coming to work with the team on a part time basis.

IMPORTANT NOTICE FOR CLIENTS

As most of you know, we have provided our own out of hours emergency service for many years. It's a service that we have always valued and we know it's a service that you love and cherish too.

It does, however, take a heavy toll on our team. In recent years, like other Veterinary Practices, we have struggled to recruit and retain Vets who are prepared to do out of hours work on top of the day job - understandably.

We must value human health as well as animal health and that means looking after our team. Our Vets cannot continue to be on call every night and every weekend in addition to being at work every day. It is unsustainable.

We will therefore be asking Vets Now to cover our WEEKEND out of hours emergency work from 1st January 2025.

What that will mean is that OUR Vets at Hollow Park will CONTINUE to cover out of hours emergency work DURING THE WEEK NIGHTS as well as run a MORNING CLINIC ON SATURDAY 9AM - 1PM. So that will not change.

What WILL change is that from January 2025 Vets Now will cover our emergency out of hours FROM 1PM ON SATURDAY AFTERNOON, THROUGH TO 9AM MONDAY MORNING.

The same procedure will be in place where, if you need out of hours care, you will call the Hollow Park number 01292 445678 and listen to the recorded message. It will give you the correct emergency number to call.

Vets Now are a dedicated out of hours provider and have a team that are fresh for the night shift as they do not also work during the day.

We would like to thank you all for your continued understanding and hope that you will continue to support us in years to come.

We remain one of very few independent family practices and feel we know you all so well. Please be assured that we are committed to providing the best service possible to you and if you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask.

Kindest regards

The Hollow Park Team

We are very sorry to report that we have had a DOA cat handed in that was involved in an RTA in Joppa. This is a completely black female that we estimate to be around 7mths to a year old. Unfortunately she is not microchipped so we cannot reunite her with her family without your help. If you think this girl is yours please contact the practice on 01292 445678

Dear Clients

Just to notify you that due to a temporary staffing adjustment, the Surgery will not be open for appointments this Saturday (2nd November 2024).

If you have an emergency after 6pm on Friday 1st November, please phone the Hollowpark number 01292 445678 (as normal) and you will hear a voicemail that will detail the appropriate emergency mobile number to call.

Please note that if this emergency is between the hours of 6pm on Friday 1st November and midnight on Saturday 2nd November, you will be required to attend the on call Vet in Girvan. See attached directions.

Other than the above temporary alteration, the practice will be open normal business hours Monday to Friday, 9 - 1 pm and 2 - 6pm.

Many thanks and best wishes
