Rachel is our very own Royal College graduate and has been practicing in London since 2016. Since joining us in 2018 Rachel has furthered her keen interest in ultrasound and developing her cardiac scanning ability, complimenting her passion for taking medicine cases forward when they require further investigation! Having a very keen interest in client care and relationships, Rachel loves nothing more than being in consult with both regular and new pets – there’s no hiding in theatre for Rachel, however, she still very much enjoys time for routine and soft tissue surgery. Away from the surgery Rachel’s interest are travelling around Asia, America and Africa, rock climbing and art.
Mel qualified in Italy in 2012 and decided upon pursing a role treating pets in London to enhance her excellent knowledge of both surgery and medicine. Mel is currently furthering her surgical skill by undertaking an advanced certificate in small animal surgery which means she is spending a lot of time in our busy operating theatre! Still greatly enjoying the interaction with pets and their owners, Mel takes pride in managing complex cases and building excellent relationships with clients. An immensely proficient small animal practitioner, Mel is confident in all routine soft tissue surgery, radiology, and ultrasound. Away from the surgeries and when she is not studying for her further certificate qualification, Mel enjoys running a journal club where vets can discuss ideas and challenging cases!
