Edhen Vets Achieve Gold Flexee Accreditation in Just 4 Months

This autumn, we are thrilled to announce that Edhen Vets have been awarded Gold Flexee Accreditation. The practice has shown a remarkable commitment to embedding flexible working across their teams, and their success highlights what can be achieved in a short timeframe when flexibility is truly prioritised.

Edhen Vets worked with Flexee to achieve accreditation in just four months — a clear testament to their dedication and focus. From clinical to support teams, flexibility is part of their culture, not an afterthought.

Flexible Working in Action

One of the most inspiring outcomes of their journey is how flexible working has been woven into everyday practice. As their current recruitment ad proudly states:

“Each of our vets has an individually tailored rota designed around their lifestyle and commitments.”

This isn’t just a policy on paper — it’s a lived reality for the Edhen team.
