You are looking to join the Pudsey practice at an incredibly exciting time, with our new practice owner Aimee looking at breaking the traditional mindset of working in a practice with modern practices that put all her colleagues wellbeing as a focus, ensuring they are in the best place to provide the best standards of care for all our clients and their pets.

The practice has started modernising its space and equipment bringing in a new ultrasound and upgrading the theatre equipment. However, that is not where the new upgrades have stopped with the kitchen space being upgraded to give it a real home from home feel! Aimee also ensures that the kitchen has a stock of food and drinks for you to keep up your energy levels.

Along with modernising the practice equipment, Aimee is implementing new ways of working that will shake up your view of working in a traditional GP practice. This includes giving colleagues protected time between 1pm and 3pm daily, this gives the team chance to catch up on paperwork, take a walk around the local park or decompress and prepare yourself fir the afternoon.
