Welcome to Yorkshire Independent Referrals
(Formerly known as Torrington Orthopaedics)

Established in 1999, we moved to our purpose built hospital in Brighouse in 2004 having outgrown our original Halifax hosts (West Mount Vets). Initally Andy Torrington was the only surgeon, but now we have four full-time surgeons.

We aim to reach decisions for optimal management of various orthopaedic conditions based on the answers to two key questions:

• What would I do if this pet was my own pet?
• Would your pet sign the consent form him or herself?

As the company name suggests, we are a single discipline Referral service, allowing us to focus all of our attention on the management of Orthopaedic and Spinal conditions. This means that every one of the staff members here have honed their skills and understanding of orthopaedic disease, the orthopaedic patient and his or her needs.

All patients are different and our approach will always reflect this awareness of the needs of each patient as an individual living being with a unique set of desires and requirements to lead a life that is fulfilling to them.
