About Me
Hi, I'm Louisa, a UK based Veterinary Surgeon here to inspire, encourage and support as many vets and vet students as I can.
I studied at the University of Nottingham School of Veterinary Medicine and Science (England) graduating with a Bachelor of Veterinary Science degree and a Bachelor of Veterinary Medicine degree in 2013.
My initial veterinary career was spent at a Small Animal Hospital where I soon developed a love for Internal Medicine and passion for mentoring and supporting other veterinarians.
I have volunteered and worked overseas in Chang Mai, Rajasthan and Namibia and I have worked in a variety of sectors including Emergency and Critical Care, Charity, Veterinary Hospitals, Referral Centres and General Practice.
My career so far has involved roles as a Veterinary Assistant, Senior Veterinary Surgeon, Mentor Veterinary Surgeon, Advanced Practitioner in Small Animal Internal Medicine and Clinic Director. In 2018 I achieved my advanced qualification in Advanced Veterinary Practice in Small Animal Medicine as well my Post Graduate Certificate in Veterinary Professional Studies. I am currently a full time Clinic Director at a very busy Small Animal General Practice in North Yorkshire.
I enjoy all aspects of general practice, but my main clinical interests are in internal medicine, (especially endocrine disease) and ophthalmology! That said I do love a juicy surgical procedure too!
I love what I do, and I’m humbled with the following and interaction I have on my social media pages.
My passion for continuing education, sharing knowledge and supporting others is what motivated me to create my own mentoring programme ‘Your Vet Coach’ .
Your Vet Coach has been set up to support veterinary students in their transition from veterinary student to practitioner as well as other young vets all over the world
Watch this space as Your Vet Coach grows!
When I'm not working you will find me spending time with my 3 legged rescue cat Oreo or Cocker Spaniel, Finn.
