Clinical Services
The small and large animal hospitals treat over 20,000 patients per year . The RVC runs three animal hospitals and three first opinion practices all based within London and Hertfordshire. For small animals, they run the Beaumont Sainsbury Animal Hospital, a first opinion hospital that is based in RVC Camden and the Queen Mother Hospital for Animals; a high quality animal referral hospital, providing state of the art clinical services in a wide range of specialities. The equine services include the Equine Practice which is a first opinion ambulatory service, serving Hertfordshire and other local areas and the Equine Referral Hospital which provides referral clinical services to equine practices and horse owners throughout the south of England. The College also has a first opinion Farm Animal Practice serving farms in the south-east, providing a 24-hour service on all aspects of farm animal health, production and welfare and also a referral Farm Animal Hospital based at the RVC Hawkshead Campus, providing full hospitalisation, diagnostic and surgical facilities for individual farm animals. The College has also established a collaboration with the Dairy Development centre called the Welsh Regional Veterinary Centre (WRVC), a farm health investigation service to vets and farmers in the South Wales region.

Famous quotes containing the word services:
“Men will say that in supporting their wives, in furnishing them with houses and food and clothes, they are giving the women as much money as they could ever hope to earn by any other profession. I grant it; but between the independent wage-earner and the one who is given his keep for his services is the difference between the free-born and the chattel.”
—Elizabeth M. Gilmer (1861–1951)
