About me
I am available for locum work throughout Nottinghamshire, Derbyshire and South Yorkshire. I work independently through a limited company, saving you money on agency fees and providing a regular, reliable locum service.
Experience:
I graduated from Cambridge University in 2009 and have 10 years experience as a small animal veterinary surgeon. Before locuming, I worked at a busy RCVS accredited veterinary hospital and achieved the BSAVA Certificate in Small Animal Medicine with distinction in 2013, becoming an Advanced Practitioner in 2015.
I took responsibility for many of the more challenging internal medicine cases seen at the practice both as first opinions and referrals. I am also a competent surgeon and proficient in all routine surgical procedures.
I enjoy interacting with clients and colleagues and believe good communication is vital in any practice to create a happy working environment and an outstanding service for clients.
CPD:
As an RCVS Advanced Practitioner, I am required to carry out a minimum of 50 hours CPD per year so you can be assured that my knowledge and practical skills are kept up to date. To compliment my interests in internal medicine, I have undertaken training in basic and advanced abdominal ultrasound and echocardiography. My CPD record is available upon request.
Special Interests:
Aside from my interests in internal medicine, I have developed a reputation as "the practice rabbit and guinea pig vet". During my time in practice, I saw many second opinion and referral cases of both species and became experienced in their medicine, surgery and ultrasonography.
Services
I offer 3 services to help your practice; a high-quality GP locum service for small animals, a medicine consultancy service and "small furry" clinics. I am also happy for you to book a mix of all three in for me. Please contact me to discuss your requirements.
Small Animal Locum Cover
I provide high-quality small animal locum cover throughout Nottinghamshire, Derbyshire and South Yorkshire. I have 10 years experience as a small animal vet and am happy with sole charge.
Medicine Clinics
As well as general locum cover, I also offer a medicine consultancy service where you can book me for the day to tackle all your tricky medicine cases. I am also happy for you to book abdominal ultrasounds in for the days I am with you, where equipment allows.
Rabbit and Guinea Pig Clinics
I have a great deal of experience in treating these little creatures and I know how time consuming and frustrating they can be to manage in a busy practice. I am happy to take these cases off your hands either day to day as a locum or if you would like to book a "small furry day" I can come to your clinic to see these patients.
