I have been a Veterinary nurse for over 15 years, working in a range of clinics from referral hospitals to emergencies and sole charge. Having a keen interest in nutrition, I completed my canine and feline certificate in nutrition in 2016, with one of my main roles being teaching students in all areas of Veterinary Nursing and especially on the best nutritional care for not just healthy but also sick animals in hospital. For the last 10 years I have been involved with training student Veterinary nurses and have recently moved into teaching full time, nutrition is an area that I feel is often overlooked, with many people not understanding the importance and how it can dramatically affect their pets and patients life. I am passionate about patient care, utilizing this alongside my experience and knowledge to pass this on to students to help them improve their nutritional care within their clinic and to their clients.
