One of the most advanced animal hospitals in Europe

The University of Glasgow opened its Small Animal Hospital, which was part-funded by SFC, in September 2009.

Based within the world-leading Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, the hospital includes a diagnostic suite with both MRI and CT scanners, an underwater treadmill and a pain management and rehabilitation centre.

The hospital has been constructed on the University's Garscube Campus in Bearsden with a sloping grass roof and central atrium allowing the hospital to be lit by natural light.

The centre also has an important role as a training hospital, where approximately 120 veterinary students and 30 veterinary nursing students will shadow specialists trained in all aspects of veterinary medicine, surgery and nursing.
