Behind the Scenes at Oakham Veterinary Hospital

Oakham Veterinary Hospital has been based on a 15 acre site on the outskirts of Oakham, Rutland since 2005. In 2018/19 a significant redevelopment of the site was completed to allow the hospital to maintain its status as one of the leading equine facilities in the UK.

We are thrilled that we have been allowed to have a behind the scenes tour of all the facilities including the surgery, theatres and diagnostic imaging suites.

The main hospital building now houses reception, two surgical operating theatres, a dedicated standing surgery area, two anaesthetic induction rooms and the MRI and CT suites.

Across a trot up area there is a barn consisting of 3 consult rooms, scanning room, Xray room and dispensary. This area also houses seven intensive care stables and five outdoor stables for day patients.

After crossing a second trot up area, there is a second barn housing an additional 6 stables, the scintigraphy suite and student accommodation. Other facilities include  a stud barn with 8 foaling stables, 3 stallions stables and a semen collection area.

Please arrive from 6.45pm and tour will start at 7pm
