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.
