Lead Surgical NurseAmy
Amy started working in the industry as a kennel nurse and a receptionist at 15 while doing GCSEs and then A levels.
After A levels went on to do a degree in animal behaviour and welfare before deciding, she wanted to be a veterinary nurse. Became a VCA and then an SVN.
Amy qualified in 2020 and was head nurse in a small independent practice for a year before being offered an opportunity to work in a referral hospital in which she jumped at the chance of taking. Amy worked in referral for 1.5 years and enjoyed every moment of learning.
In 2022, she started at Mead working alongside our surgical vet as a surgical nurse doing orthopaedic, soft tissue, emergency surgery as well as imaging. Although I enjoy all aspects of the job.
Amy is a clinical coach and has 2 students in which she is helping them get through their studies to become an RVN.
Amy is also completing an advanced diploma in anaesthesia and analgesia, which she is hoping to complete this year.
She has a keen interest in exotic species and hopes to complete a certificate in exotics afterwards.
