Special Needs of Geriatric Patients (for Nurses)

Mathilde qualified as a vet in 2002 in France (National Veterinary School of Alfort). She passed her Intership in small animal medicine and surgery at the same Vet School, and continued to study in surgery there for another year.  After this specialisation, she worked as a general small animal practitioner in France and in the UK until she decided, in 2009, to specialise in physiotherapy and rehabilitation.  She passed the exam for the Diploma of Animal Physiotherapy with The College of Animal Physiotherapy in October 2012. Building up on this, she developed the rehabilitation centre in association with the hydrotherapy unit and the pain clinics at Langford Vets, Small Animal Hospital for the University of Bristol. Since 2016, she has created Vet&Physio Ltd, a private small animal physiotherapy and rehabilitation centre based in Somerset, UK. She is currently studying acupuncture and integrated care, to support even better our beloved pets in their late years.
