It's been 1 week since our team took part in Happydays UK Big Sleep Out...and look at how much you guys helped us raise!
Thank you so much to everyone who donated, shared our posts and sent such supportive messages throughout the night and after 🥰
Happy Days charity raised over £15,000 with this event!!
Lastly thank you to the West Mount team members and all the other participants who braved the cold to help raise vital funds for our community 💚
This month, we’re working with the vet sector and the NHS to encourage the return of out of date and unused antibiotics to help tackle the growing issue of antimicrobial resistance.
During our amnesty, we are asking our clients to return out-of-date and unused medicines to our practices for safe disposal
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a worldwide health threat, as bacteria are becoming resistant to many antibiotics we use.
Throughout November we are holding an antibiotic amnesty where we are asking our clients to return any unused antibiotic medications for safe disposal.

🌟 Congratulations Alex 🌟
We would like to say a massive well done to Alex on passing all her exams and becoming an official Registered Veterinary Nurse! 💚
Alex joined our team as a Patient Care Assistant in 2018, she was a PCA for 2 years before enrolling as a Student Veterinary Nurse 📚
Alex has been studying at college, working full time and being a mummy to her little girl Em, proving that hard work really does pay off! 🥰
Behind the scenes our staff at the Halifax branch have been dealing with an upsetting and difficult patient who arrived as a stray, we named her 'twiggy'.
Due to the nature of this case we cannot share pictures or details of her.
However, we wanted to show you a snapshot into our work group chat 💚
Our staff leave everyday after their shift ends, but we never emotionally 'end' our shift. We are constantly asking 'how is Fluffy?' or 'has Mr twinkles got his appetite back today?
Our profession is our lifestyle, and we take our patients home with us mentally every day 🐾
Please be kind to all our staff, as we truly care for each and every one of our patients 💕
🌟Meet the Team Monday🌟
This is Gina 🥰
Gina joined us as a receptionist almost 2 years ago.
The more she worked with us the more interested she became in working more hands on with the animals. Gina is currently studying to become a patient care assistant (PCA) 📚
To work as a PCA it is not a requirement to have qualifications, however there are lots of different courses that are available.
As part of CVS ltd they offer lots of in-house training to all our staff, including the course that Gina is undertaking.
At home Gina lives with Steven her husband, Charlie and Katy the cats 🐱 Darcey the horse 🐴 and Baz her king snake 🐍
We encourage all our staff to further their career and be the best they can 💪💕

This is Humphrey 🐾
Humphreys Mummy Ginny is one of our amazing Patient Care Assistants (PCA) who helps with the day to day running of our practice.
Ginny works many on-calls with our vets ensuring your pets have 24/7 care, and Humphrey comes to stay with her 😊
Our PCA's play a vital role in the running of all our vet practices, and we would be lost without them 💕
