In the last 26 years, her clinical work ranged from quiet first opinion practices to very busy referral hospitals, working as a theatre nurse, ECC nurse, deputy head nurse, head nurse and principal nurse manager!

She never stopped studying and went on to gain the diploma in Advanced Veterinary Nursing (Surgical) and the Certificate in Emergency and Critical Care. She was a lecturer in Veterinary Nursing at Islington College in London and at the College of Animal Welfare. She loves teaching veterinary nurses and it is very rewarding to see when they reach that ‘lightbulb’ moment!
