Millennium Vets Referral Services

Millennium Vets provides a comprehensive referral service across a range of disciplines, supported by experienced RCVS Certificate Holders and Advanced Practitioners. While we are not a specialist centre, we are proud to deliver high-quality, referral-level care at a competitive cost to your clients.

Dermatology – headed by Stefaan Van Poucke

Stefaan has extensive experience in diagnosing and managing a wide variety of dermatological conditions, from allergic skin disease to complex autoimmune and infectious disorders.

Oncology – headed by Stefaan Van Poucke 

In addition to his dermatology expertise, Stefaan completed a Clinical Oncology Postgraduate Diploma at the University of Birmingham in 2012. He has since developed a strong oncology referral caseload, offering advanced diagnostic work-ups and treatment options, including chemotherapy and surgical oncology.
