After staying on a farm when on a primary school outing aged just 7, Alison decided that she was going to ‘look after animals everyday’. A few years on and her conviction to do just that hasn’t wavered! Alison qualified with a degree in Veterinary Nursing in 2004. After 2 years in a busy veterinary hospital in Kent she broadened her horizons in Australia for a year. She returned to become Head Veterinary Nurse at a developing practice in South London where she worked closely with the senior vet, building the practice into a centre of veterinary excellence.
Alison is a skilled and experienced nurse who joined the Portland Vets team in 2013 and became the chief nurse at our Edenbridge branch. She has a particular interest in caring for rabbits and running nurse clinics and is always ready to take a baby or injured bird home for extra TLC! Alison is still a fan of travelling and has enjoyed a trip of a life time to the Galapagos.
Since becoming a mum of two, and as the Edenbridge branch has expanded, Alison has progressed to become Branch Practice Manager, recently gaining a certificate in Veterinary Practice Management.
