Observed evidence
Proudly independent practice under owner Steve Ashman since 2025; same-vet continuity, urgent same-day care and explicit in-hours/out-of-hours phone handoff.
Working hypothesis
Routine bookings and non-clinical requests may compete with urgent calls and owner attention; validate through a controlled non-clinical intake pilot.
Operating handoff
Next action. Imported to Smartlead [private id]; ACTIVE and waiting for Europe/London weekday 08:30–17:30 schedule. Mark CONTACTED only after message-history proof.
Risks and controls. No medical advice; urgent and clinical cases remain with people.
Source register
Public dossiers deliberately omit email addresses, phone numbers, provider identifiers, message IDs and private research payloads. The operational CRM retains the private route intelligence.
