Internal Medicine
The internal medicine team investigates into diseases of the internal organs of the body such as the lungs, kidneys, gastro-intestinal tract, neurological system, eyes, skin and liver. The use of specialist equipment and techniques such as ultrasound, endoscopy, radiography, electrocardiography and laboratory testing are used to evaluate disease.
The internal medicine department is headed by Natasha Jocelyn, a European Specialist in Equine Internal Medicine.
