We are thrilled to highlight Heather, one of our dedicated Registered Veterinary Nurses here at Estcourt Vets as part of Veterinary Nurse Awareness Month!
Heather is a familiar and friendly face at Estcourt Vets, having been an integral part of our team since June 2021 having initially joined us as an Animal Nursing Assistant. Her passion for animal care led her to pursue formal veterinary nurse training, and we are incredibly proud to celebrate her graduation as a Registered Veterinary Nurse at the end of January 2025 💚
Heather is a hands-on nurse who thrives in the fast-paced environment of the practice. Her favourite aspects of the job include surgical nursing, monitoring anaesthetics in theatre, placing IV catheters, taking blood samples and delivering in patient care🐾
Heather holds a special interest in feline behaviour and welfare. She is eager to expand her role in this area and hopes to lead specialised nurse consultations to help owners better understand and support their cats’ mental and physical well-being🐱
Unsurprisingly, Heather is a huge cat lover outside of work, too! Most of her free time is spent enjoying cuddles with Captain, whom she rescued as a kitten.
