It’s been a big season for our Medicine team, and we are proud of the work they have done caring for some of the patients. With over 180 foals admitted to date through the hospital this season, it has been all hands on deck for the entire team. A big shout-out to our hard working nursing team for their dedication.
As the season winds down, it’s time to say farewell to Dr Rachel Gough, Dr Emily Nicholls and Dr Brianna Clark.
Equine Medicine Specialist Rachel Gough joined our hospital for the 2025 breeding season. Rachel is very passionate about equine neonatology and critical care. Despite arriving on the heels of a busy foal season at Donnington Grove Equine Vets in Berkshire, England, she slotted seamlessly into our team. Rachel’s can-do attitude, hard work and dedication were obvious to all and were reflected in the patients response to her treatment. Rachel was a joy to work with and an integral part of our medicine team. She played a key role in mentoring our rotating interns and medicine fellow. We are so grateful for everything that she brought to the hospital and she will be deeply missed.
Emily joined us this spring from the UK and quickly became a bright spark in the hospital. She took the lead in guiding the interns through their medicine rotations, ensuring the patients were well looked after, bloods were taken on time and all the daily tasks were managed smoothly. Even on the longest days, Emily remained upbeat and ready to lend a hand. Watching her grow, learn and take on new challenges with confidence has been a joy. We will miss her enormously and wish her every success as she continues her career.
Brianna joined SEH as a newly minted Equine Internal Medicine Specialist during the 2023 breeding season. Full of energy, warmth, and enthusiasm her presence was rapidly valued and appreciated by co-workers, clients and her patients alike. Bringing an enquiring mind, a broad wealth of knowledge and experience, and particular loves of neonatology, endocrinology and neurology to her role, Brianna provided excellent care to her patients and contributed to the growth of the SEH medicine department as we transitioned to the new hospital. Generous in sharing her knowledge, skills and time with fellow veterinarians across the hospital departments she provided mentorship and an excellent example to younger colleagues. While she will be greatly missed in Scone, we wish Brianna all the best with her new adventures.
Well done and thank you all for your efforts. 🐴
