What to expect if your pet is referred to us
Abington Park Referrals provides a comprehensive range of veterinary referral services in Orthopaedic and Soft Tissue Surgery, Internal Medicine, Oncology and Diagnostic Imaging. At Abington Park Referrals we pride ourselves on our ability to not only reach the correct diagnosis for your pet but also to provide you with the most up to date and effective treatment options available to veterinary medicine today.
All our staff undergo constant training to keep up to date with any new developments in veterinary medicine and our 24 hour veterinary and nursing team work round the clock to care for your pet.
Many pets referred to us can have more than one condition affecting them simultaneously – which is why our team of surgeons and our medicine clinicians often work together to achieve the best clinical outcome for your pet, by making sure that each treatment is tailored to each individual pet and pet owner.
Abington Park Referrals is located in Northampton which is ideally located in the Midlands just off the M1 motorway.

If you have been referred to us and wish to know more about the referral process please see our FAQs below.
Many of us have been referred to a consultant by our GPs when we have more complex health issues. Veterinary medicine is similar to human medicine , so there are times when your own vet may need to refer your pet to someone with more expertise in a particular area. Abington Park Referrals accept referrals from vets in primary care/ first opinion practice – we also run our own first opinion practice which runs from our three surgeries in Northampton.
