In between all of this we have to fit in time for reporting any test results, checking e-mails, having staff meetings, clinical audits and ensuring the general day to day running of the clinic.

Catherine Wilkinson is a Veterinary Surgeon at Medivet in Middlesex. She works at a small branch clinic with no hospitalised patients on site. She starts the day by calling over to the main site to check how they have been overnight. She then has a two hour consulting period where anything can come in. In between all of this we have to fit in time for reporting any test results, checking e-mails, having staff meetings, clinical audits and ensuring the general day to day running of the clinic. At the end of the day I check for any more results that may have come through and phone those owners. Any patients that need hospitalisation will be transferred to our main branch and details passed onto the night vet after evening consults.” Congratulations to Snoop from MediveT Whitton on starting his weight loss programme!

My one year old daughter keeps me very much occupied outside of work at the now but I do try to fit time in for catching up with friends and going running as a way of unwinding”
