Acorn House Veterinary Hospital
BedfordAcorn House Veterinary Hospital has been at its present site in Brickhill since 1999, and was located on De Parys Avenue in Bedford for many years prior to that. Initially a mixed farm and small animal practice, the hospital has focused on small animals since 2017.
In 2018 Acorn House Veterinary Hospital was acquired by the Royal Veterinary College (RVC). The RVC is ranked as the top veterinary school in the world (QS World University Rankings) and offers undergraduate and postgraduate programs in veterinary medicine, veterinary nursing and biological sciences. Although Acorn House continues to operate as an independent practice, veterinary students from the RVC observe how the practice works by attending placements at the practice. The RVC felt that Acorn House had the right facilities, experience and ethos to take on this flagship role for their students.
