About us

Independent, collaborative and focused on good medicine.

Mobile Vet Referral provides Advanced Practitioner-led care through selected local host clinics, complemented by limited mobile visits for suitable cases.

Our purpose

More capability for local practices. Less disruption for patients.

We believe referral support works best when it strengthens the primary care relationship. By concentrating most appointments at selected local clinics, we can offer a reliable service, reduce unnecessary travel and return a clear clinical plan to the referring team.

Where the case, facilities and schedule make it appropriate, a mobile visit to the referring practice may still be arranged. The service is independent and family-run by RCVS Advanced Practitioner Fabrizio Tucciarone and business partner Sarah Grummett.
