Discipline Specific Intern – Emergency and Critical Care, Vets Now-Glasgow 2025

Discipline Specific Intern – Emergency and Critical Care, Vets Now-Glasgow 2025
Vets Now is the European leader in the provision of Emergency and Critical Care. As well as European Board of Veterinary Specialisation Residency programs in Emergency and Critical Care and Surgery, we also offer a well-established Internship programme in our referral hospital in Glasgow. 
We are proud to announce that our Glasgow Hospital is now inviting applications for discipline specific Emergency and Critical Care Intern. This is a unique opportunity to work collaboratively with the ECC specialist team and expand your skills, knowledge and experience in this discipline. The aim of this role is to further abilities in ECC and will include clinical work in ICU and receiving emergency referrals, as well as having some time set-aside to undertake independent study and to work with other specialties in order to enhance ECC- appropriate skills.
In our Glasgow hospital we work as a multi-disciplinary team to ensure the best possible standard of care for our patients; the successful candidate must have excellent communication skills and liaise with other disciplines within the hospital. Within our ICU we have the ability to provide advanced mechanical ventilation, high-flow nasal oxygen therapy and perform therapeutic plasma exchange. Our veterinary team is supported by an experienced and dedicated ICU nursing team.
To be considered for this role, applicants must possess a Veterinary degree which is recognised by the RCVS, be a member of the RCVS and have completed a small animal rotating internship prior to commencement of this role (candidates with significant experience in the discipline would also be given due consideration).
Applicants must also be eligible to work in the UK and have the appropriate Visa documents. It would also be desirable that applicants provide evidence of competency in speaking English, as determined by a formal qualification in English (such as IELTS or TOEFL). 
Embracing the learning environment and being inspired by our experts requires an Intern committed to integrity and ethical standards with a strong emphasis on client and patient care. Interns must proactively engage in their own training and career advancement by attending pre-planned seminars, journal clubs and local ad-hoc teaching opportunities. They will also be responsible for working with clinical mentors to actively take part in research projects.
Interns will work with their supervising clinician to participate effectively in all aspects of planning, diagnosis and treatment of cases. Animal welfare and the ethics of interventions must be considered by balancing practical and financial factors when determining appropriate patient care. Therefore, the ability to apply prior knowledge and experience to maintain the high clinical standards expected within our hospitals is essential.
Interns will openly engage in case discussions with the ECC specialists, ECC residents and senior nursing team and should contribute to a positive, informative, respectful and inclusive environment for all. Attention to detail, particularly with maintaining accurate records and written correspondence is also a key component of this role.
To support the day to day running of the hospital under the direction of the ECC specialists, we require strong communication skills, compassion, reliability and professionalism coupled with the ability to priortise and remain calm during challenging circumstances.
Glasgow has a well-established residency programme, and discipline-specific interns will be also be involved in organised teaching; there is opportunity to transition from discipline-specific intern to a residency position for the appropriate candidate.
