Weโ€™re pleased to welcome Hazel Birch-Ellis, who has recently joined our veterinary team at Rossdales Hertfordshire to provide maternity cover.

Hazel has worked as an equine vet within mixed practice since qualifying from the Royal Veterinary College in 2020. She additionally completed an internship at a leading equine hospital in Victoria, Australia, where she also worked as a locum vet at various practices and gained further experience assisting with racehorse sales preparation.

Her main clinical interest is equine medicine, particularly neonatal medicine and respiratory disease, although she enjoys all aspects of equine veterinary care.

Outside of work, Hazel breeds and shows pedigree Limousin cattle and Hanoverian sport horses with her partner in Shropshire. Hazel said: โ€œIโ€™m looking forward to working with the Rossdales team and meeting clients, while continuing to broaden my experience in all aspects of equine veterinary practice.โ€
