A Northamptonshire veterinary practice is giving students who are passionate about working in the veterinary industry a unique insight into how to achieve their dream career.

Northlands Veterinary Group is opening the doors of its veterinary hospital in Kettering to school and college pupils so they can meet the veterinary team and discover what a career caring for pets involves.

At the event on Tuesday evening (11 March), pupils from Years 10-13 will be able to go behind the scenes of the hospital in Station Road and find out how it delivers the highest levels of care to pets.

The veterinary hospital cares for pets 24 hours a day, seven days a week and its high-quality facilities include consult rooms, operating theatres, dental suite, laboratory, digital X-ray, CT machine, kennels for in-patients and a bereavement room.

Students can take a look behind the scenes at the veterinary hospital and put their questions to the team.
