York veterinary practice expands with £30k investment

York’s Minster Veterinary Practice is expanding with the opening of its sixth branch.

Minster has taken over the lease of a unit at Tower Court Shopping Arcade at Clifton Moor, York, and plans to open its new surgery on Monday, February 29.

Building work has been completed to convert the building, with the creation of two consulting rooms, waiting room and spacious reception.

Clifton Moor is halfway between Minster’s main practice on Salisbury Road and its Haxby surgery.

Minster veterinary director Rob Williams said: “York traffic is particularly bad at the time of day when there is client demand for morning and evening appointments.

“Our new branch will be very convenient for existing clients, and will cut their journey times.

“New houses are also being built in this area so the surgery will serve new residents moving into the area, who will have a vets on their doorstep.”

Any pets treated at the new branch requiring surgery or further treatment will be sent to Minster’s Salisbury Road hospital, where there are operating facilities and more hi-tech veterinary equipment.

Minster has invested £30k in the new site, which was previously a flooring shop.

Work started in November to convert the building into a fully functional veterinary practice to look after small animals and wildlife.

Mr Williams added: “We identified that Tower Court was an area that would complement our existing practices.

“It will be very convenient for clients and for staff moving between all of our sites.”
