https://www.vetnurse.co.uk/f/nonclinical-discussions/20129/old-equipment Hi all, I work at a RSPCA shelter, last year they built a small veterinary suite and employed me to nurse. We have external vets come in three times a week to operate etc. It&#39;s a great facility and we are saving the charity around &#163;1500 a month byen-USTelligent Community 10https://www.vetnurse.co.uk/thread/138570?ContentTypeID=1Mon, 14 Jan 2013 18:44:10 GMT1a0763ec-3885-442c-853e-6cef656dfec5:131ec8fe-d371-4245-83aa-7edb57ca8796Sophie Bedford RVN CertVNECC<p><a href="http://www.vetnurse.co.uk/forums/t/20034.aspx">http://www.vetnurse.co.uk/forums/t/20034.aspx</a>&nbsp;Just seen this post a few topics down the list - they have anaesthetic machines etc!
