Nichola qualified from Liverpool University in 2001 and has been in practice in Carmarthenshire ever since. Initially working in mixed practice, Nichola then focused on small animal practice, which is where she discovered her love for surgery.
Having completed her ESVPS certificate in Small Animal Surgery in 2010, she then went on to complete her postgraduate BSAVA qualification for Small Animal Surgery in 2019, leading to her Advanced Veterinary Practitioner Status in 2021. Nichola has spent the last 12 months working alongside Steve Butterworth at Weighbridge Referrals, exploring her interests in orthopaedic surgery further.
Favourite surgery: Left-sided TPLO
Least favourite task: Anal gland expression (full PPE required due to previous unfortunate experience).
When not working, you will either find her wrapped up warm rugby pitch side or strolling the Welsh Mountains or coastal paths. Her favourite place, however, is a window seat on a plane to anywhere.
