Affordable home visits for owners with mobility issues

Independently-owned Willows Veterinary Group has launched a mobile veterinary service for people in Warrington, Runcorn and Lymm who find it difficult to get to the practice. The Vet Van is equipped to provide routine care in a person’s home and it will travel to a different postcode patch every Wednesday and Thursday, so that each area will receive a visit once every three weeks. Vet Kate Williams, who is leading the project, said: ‘The idea was to set up a service that makes routine care at home an affordable option. The appointment system is similar to systems used by parcel delivery companies, but owners don’t have to stay in all morning or afternoon as we’ll be able to tell them roughly when we’ll be coming’.
