YOUR HOME VETERINARY NURSE

I

am an RVN who became registered and qualified in 2011. I have worked in a number of practices throughout southern England as both a veterinary nurse and as an attached nurse to the accident and emergency department of vets’ practices.

The owner of three pets of

my own – cats Piri and Gringo and my Labrador, Crumble, I have been around animals professionally and personally for most of my life. My ethos has always been to advocate for the voiceless and to offer safety, comfort and understanding to each and every animal I treat.
