Swaffham Veterinary Centre is a proudly independent, modern veterinary practice based in the heart of Norfolk. 

Owned by Helen Manning, Liam Manson and Ben McDonnell our goal has always been simple – to provide the highest standard of care for animals across Norfolk.  With years of experience between us and a dedicated team of skilled, compassionate staff, we are committed to making every visit as positive and stress-free as possible for you and your pet. 

Our practice has been designed with your pets comfort and well being in mind.  Equipped with modern facilities and the latest technology, we combine advanced veterinary care with the friendly, personal service you would expect from a local independent practice.   

Whether it’s a routine check up or more specialised treatment, you can trust our team to treat your pet with the same care and kindness we would give our own.

Liam founded Swaffham veterinary Centre in 2014, having worked in mid-Norfolk since graduating from Edinburgh University in 2003.  He completed a surgical certificate in 2007 and continues to have a keen interest in surgery but does enjoy the variety that a busy first opinion small animal practice gives each day.

Out of work Liam enjoys spending time with his wife and children, who all enjoy travelling in the UK and abroad.  he also enjoys exploring the beautiful Norfolk countryside with his Labrador Daisy.  When given the opportunity Liam is a keen gardener.
