The Hospital is proud to be part of the Royal (Dick) School of Veterinary Studies, one of the world’s best veterinary schools, at the University of Edinburgh.

Our status as an educational institution means we are not-for profit, and a key part of our mission is training the next generation of exemplary veterinary professionals to the high standards we are known for.

We are home to a wide range of Specialists, world-leading in their field, and have a proven track record of excellence in veterinary care. Our facilities are outstanding, many unmatched by other hospitals in the UK – such as our linear accelerator.

Alongside our clinical care and education, we conduct world-leading, transformative and ethical research, which would not be possible without the many and varied cases we see. All research is undertaken on an opt-in basis, and has a significant and wide-ranging impact on animal and human wellbeing across the planet.

The results of our research are shared with the wider veterinary community, allowing improved care to the animals we all look after. Thus, our role is to help not only the animals we see but the ones we will never see.
