Wentworth Retreat

Wentworth Retreat Post surgical/ medical canine rehabilitation service which is qualified, licenced and regulated. I offer rehabilitation and regular boarding!

My name is Emma Johnson, I am a registered and qualified veterinary nurse with over 24 years of experience. Most recently working for 10 years as head nurse for Fitzpatrick referrals an orthopaedic and neurology veterinary hospital, managing a team of 80 veterinary nurses and auxilliarys and overseeing the care of over 60 patients at a time. I decided i wanted to start my own business caring for a

nimals on a day to day basis and in October 2015 I started Wentworth Retreat. I have gained a number of qualifications and experience making me highly regarded as a veterinary professional. I began pursuing a career in veterinary nursing in general practice 21 years ago in 1996. During this time I have developed nursing interests in a variety of disciplines. This included anaesthesia, pain management and post-operative care in small animals. In 2001 I qualified as a veterinary nurse with the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons and went on to successfully gain my assessor qualification. This gave me the opportunity to support and guide undergraduate veterinary nurses of the future during their three year training programme. I continue to pursue my own professional development and in 2008 was awarded the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons 'Advanced nursing diploma in medical nursing' and further went on to gain the 'Royal Veterinary College Graduate Diploma in Professional and Clinical Veterinary Nursing' in 2012. I completed a grooming diploma in 2018 and 2021 completed an advanced behaviour diploma. In 2023 I completed a graduate diploma in veterinary physiotherapy. My passion to develop my own and my team of nurses’ skills and training and promote the awareness of the Registered Veterinary Nurse status within the veterinary profession overall led to my appointment in 2014 as a regional coordinator for veterinary nurse training in Surrey with the British Veterinary Nursing Association. I fulfilled the requirements of this role voluntarily and dedicated my own personal time. licence number 36642

❤️Two previous patients arrived today for a holiday stay!❤️

Our gorgeous lab I previously rehabilitated following elbow surgery.

❤️These gorgeous girls have left the Wentworth Retreat after 3 weeks of stay.

They stay four times a year. The two sisters have both had spinal surgery so have to be monitored.🌱

The black elderly lady arrived with a tooth root infection and nasal bleeding. Thankfully with medication and close observation this has resolved and she has gone home fit and healthy 🙏

❤️Two of my previous patients have returned for a holiday stay to continue physio and strengthening. ❤️

I rehabilitated them previously post spinal surgery and post Total hip replacement.

They are both doing amazing and their owners are doing so much to continue their rehab journey.

I love that my patients return for holidays and we can share lovely woody walks together and of course the cuddles 🙌😍

💛My newest patient has arrived at the retreat. She is the sweetest girl who has undergone spinal surgery. Her owner who is 80 and has done an amazing job with her post operative care just needed a little respite care.

Post operative care includes:
💦Regular shorter walks (usually 4-5)
💦bladder monitoring and expression
💦Encouragement to eat as necessary
💦Grooming
💦Pain scoring
💦Lots of cuddles
💦Regular nursing checks to ensure no deterioration in his condition.
💦Regular updates for the owner
💦 Continuing any training and lots of mental stim
💦 Administration of medication
💦Massage and physio
💦Prevent bed sores

All rehab patients have totally separate areas, are able to enjoy lots of fulfilment within their needs and ability and still in a loving home environment!

Each client gets an individual care plan on their arrival and on discharge.

💛💫Wentworth Retreat is officially 10 years old! 💛💫

10 years ago I had a dream to start my own post surgical and medical rehabilitation business. It has taken many hours of work, commitment, love and at times tears.

🌞Thank you to all of my clients, Family and friends who have supported my business in the last 10 years.🌞

We have welcomed many patients and boarders into our home over the years, making sure they are in a safe environment in which to recouperate. We offer 24/7 care in a loving home environment.

We have expanded our home and my brain to make it as comfortable as possible for my patients but also manage more conditions.

Below are some of our gorgeous patients and boarders.💛💛

Early morning collection from Aura veterinary (oncology and soft tissue) for this sweet boy.

I have rehabilitated him for several orthopaedic surgeries over the last 5 years. Sadly he has developed Mast cell tumours. His owner noticed 2 small ones and he was referred immediately to have them removed.

Such a sweet boy and just loves life 💙

💕All returning patients and boarders this week.💕

So lovely to see them doing so well.

Lots of strengthening work while they are here, lovely woody walks and lots of TLC

Two previous spinal patients and a double total hip replacement which I rehabilitated. Plus my regular ridgeback boarders who need that extra care.

Three lovely patients have arrived at the Wentworth Retreat since I returned.❤️

All have settled so well.

A gorgeous elderly dalmation who has had spinal surgery and requires further strengthening.

A working cocker who has been through the wars, bilateral perineal hernia repair, castration and ablation. He has had reconstructive surgery so his surgery was more invasive than expected.

Then our regular Labrador boy who has stem cell Therapy with Fitzpatricks and comes to stay with me while he recovers.

💦Regular shorter walks (usually 4-5)
💦bladder monitoring and expression
💦Encouragement to eat as necessary
💦Grooming
