Veterio, the first veterinary referral clinic in Poland built by the LuxVet Group in Warsaw, is entering the final stage of construction. As early as this fall, patients will be able to use a 24/7 emergency ward and specialist wards. They will be referred to Veterio by their local facilities.
Veterio is located in the Diuna office complex at ul. Taśmowa 7 in the Mokotow district of Warsaw. It is being built on more than 2,200 square meters of space, which will include doctors’ offices, surgery and treatment rooms, diagnostic rooms, comfortable areas for customers and staff, and training and conference rooms.
Veterio’s medical space is divided into two main wards. One is an emergency ward with an intensive care unit that will be open 24 hours a day and 7 days a week to handle emergency and critical cases. The other is a referral ward, which will consist of specialist units: surgery, orthopedics, cardiology, neurology, ophthalmology, dermatology, endoscopy, imaging, internal medicine and anesthesiology. Oncology and dentistry will be added in the future. The facility will be outfitted with high-end equipment (including MRI, CT and X-ray scanners), enabling a comprehensive range of advanced treatments and diagnostic procedures to be conducted on-site. However, basic veterinary procedures will not be performed there.
International referral models
The Veterio clinic will serve patients referred from all treatment facilities, including those affiliated with the LuxVet Group and those outside of the Group. Whenever possible, cooperation will be based on contracts signed with these facilities, which will streamline the referral of patients, and communication between the referring facility and the Veterio team – both before the patient is admitted and after its discharge.
Polish team of specialists
The LuxVet Group has invited a Polish team of experienced veterinarians to work on the creation of Veterio. Each specialist unit will have its own leader supported by other doctors, technicians and auxiliary staff. Recruitment is underway and more information is available at www.veterio.pl.
The facility will also take an active part in personnel training and education.
Polish team of specialists
Veterio is scheduled to open in September. Detailed information for facilities interested in referral partnership can be obtained by writing to partnerzy@veterio.pl.
