Summary
What's happening?
A local vet named Conor Nicholson is opening his own veterinary practice in Newark, Nottinghamshire in July 2026.
Why does it matter?
After nearly 10 years working as a vet in Newark, Conor noticed common problems — rushed appointments, never seeing the same vet twice, and surprise bills. He's built a practice designed to fix that.
What makes it different?
You'll always see the same vet
Appointments are longer and unrushed
They have a CT scanner on-site, which is rare in the area
A simple monthly payment plan covers most of your pet's needs, reducing the need for pet insurance
Who is it for?
Dog, cat, and small pet owners in Newark and nearby villages. Other vet practices can also use the CT scanner as a referral service.
What can you do now?
The practice isn't open yet, but you can register your interest today to get priority access when it opens.
After nine years caring for pets across Newark and the surrounding villages, local vet Conor Nicholson is opening his own practice — and it’s been built from the ground up to do things differently.
Nicholson Veterinary Centre opens in Newark, Nottinghamshire in July 2026, and registrations are now open for pet owners who want to be among the first through the door.
Why Newark Is Getting a New Vet Practice
If you’ve been a pet owner in Newark for any length of time, you’ll know the frustrations that have crept into veterinary care across the UK — rushed appointments, seeing a different vet every visit, unexpected bills, and the sense that something is being missed.
Conor Nicholson has seen it too. As a veterinary surgeon who has worked in and around Newark for nearly a decade, he made a decision: to build the kind of practice he’d actually want to bring his own pets to.
Nicholson Veterinary Centre is the result. It’s an independent, founder-led vet practice based in Newark, designed around time, continuity, and clinical honesty — not targets or upselling.
What Makes Nicholson Vets Different
Your Pet, Your Vet — Every Time
When you register at Nicholson Veterinary Centre, you’ll be matched with a named vet who gets to know you and your pet. You’ll see the same face at every visit. No starting from scratch. No repeating yourself. Just consistent, considered care from someone who already knows your animal’s history.
Appointments That Aren’t Rushed
Consultations at Nicholson Vets are designed to give you real time — time to ask questions, time for Conor and his team to think properly, and time to explain what’s happening and why. Good veterinary medicine starts with listening, and that’s not possible in a ten-minute slot.
On-Site CT Scanning in Newark
From the day it opens, Nicholson Veterinary Centre will be one of the very few vet practices in Nottinghamshire offering on-site CT scanning. For pet owners, this means faster and more accurate diagnoses, fewer stressful referral journeys, and a much clearer picture of what’s going on — all within a familiar, trusted environment.
For local vets who need a CT referral service in the Newark area, Nicholson Veterinary Centre will also be offering CT imaging as a referral service from opening. Find out more about CT referrals →
A New Approach to Pricing
One of the biggest barriers to good veterinary care is uncertainty about cost. Nicholson Vets is tackling this head-on with a choice of clear care options — including a Lifetime Care Plan that covers unlimited consultations, preventative healthcare, medication and surgical support, and out-of-hours care, all for a transparent monthly fee.
It’s one of the first plans of its kind in Nottinghamshire, and it’s designed to reduce the reliance on pet insurance for many owners.

A Message from Conor
“I’ve spent the best part of a decade working with the people and pets of Newark, and I care deeply about this community. This practice is my way of doing veterinary medicine the way I believe it should be done — with time, with honesty, and with genuine clinical focus. I’m incredibly excited to open our doors, and I can’t wait to meet your pets.”
