I have an MSc in Biodiversity, Wildlife and Ecosystem Health from the University of Edinburgh. I also gained a BSc (Hons) Veterinary Nursing Science in 2008 at Sparsholt College, qualifying as a Veterinary Nurse and am a registered Veterinary Nurse with the RCVS. I also hold a City and Guild Certificate in the nursing of exotic species, gained in 2009 from Edinburgh’s Telford College.
I hold a BSc (Hons) in Veterinary Nursing and Practice Management, qualified as a Veterinary Nurse in 2008 (NVQ 3) and am a registered veterinary nurse with the RCVS. I also hold an RCVS Advanced Diploma in Veterinary Nursing gained in 2014, specialising in medical and critical care nursing.
I am a practising RCVS registered veterinary surgeon with a wealth of experience and interest in all areas of small animal first opinion veterinary medicine. In day-to-day in practice, I particularly enjoy surgical procedures, charity clinic work, and diagnostic imaging.
I have been a registered Veterinary nurse since 2000. I have taught at Sparsholt for 16 years teaching Animal Sciences to Veterinary Nurses and Level 3 Animal Management students
BSc(Hons) REVN DET
I have been a Registered Equine Veterinary Nurse since 2008. I started out in small animal practice in 2003 and then moved into equine practice shortly afterwards. I was Head Nurse in a busy referral Hospital for 8 years before deciding to qualify as a Lecturer. I am now teaching Veterinary Nursing to both small animal and equine students.
RVN, V1
I have an interest in medical nursing, which naturally drew my attention to the health, welfare and behaviour of hospitalised patients. I firmly believe inpatient care comes hand-in-hand with compassion and understanding, which is why I worked hard with my previous practice to become ‘ISFM cat friendly accredited’. Another interest and personal passion has been helping to train the future generations of RVNs – being a Clinical Coach to Diploma and Degree students has been incredibly rewarding.
