💚 I’m Elin, one of the Animal Care Assistants here at Lynwood, and I’ve been part of the team since 2023. I joined straight after completing my A‑levels, starting out in our Client Care team while I figured out what direction I wanted to take and whether university was the right path for me.

Over time, I realised just how much I loved working with animals. Supporting clients gave me a great foundation, but it also helped me discover that my real passion lay in hands‑on animal care. That’s what inspired me to move into the nursing team and begin my journey as an Animal Care Assistant.

Since stepping into this role, I’ve found huge fulfilment in seeing patients with complex needs gradually return to their usual personalities and eventually be signed off. It’s incredibly rewarding to be part of that process. I’ve also loved reconnecting with patients whose owners I got to know during my time in Client Care.

Another part of the job I really enjoy is spending time in our lab, running blood and urine tests and learning more about the clinical side of patient care. 🌟🥰🐾

💚 I’m Alisha, a student veterinary nurse currently undertaking my apprenticeship and diploma with Lynwood School of Veterinary Nursing. I joined Lynwood in 2022 as part of the Client Care team before progressing to Animal Care Assistant and now into my nursing training.

In practice, I particularly enjoy wound care, bandaging, and keeping our laboratory running smoothly. My favourite part of the role is caring for inpatients - making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved throughout their stay. 🌟🐾

UPDATE - REUNITED WITH OWNER

🐢🚨 Found Tortoise – Christchurch Area 🚨
We are currently caring for a male tortoise that was found in Christchurch on Sunday and handed into our emergency out‑of‑hours practice, Vets Now (Wimborne branch).

He is not microchipped, and we’re unsure of his age. He’s safe and being well looked after, but we’d really like to get him back home where he belongs. If you think he might be yours, please call 01202 882101. Please share to help reunite him with his family. 🐢

Reggie has spent his working life guiding and supporting others - and recently, he needed that same care himself. When he arrived with a tumour on his spleen and bleeding in his abdomen, our incredible vets Luisa and Elin acted fast. They performed life‑saving surgery, removed his spleen, and gave him the chance to keep going 💚

We’re over the moon to share that Reggie is recovering so well. This near‑retiring Guide Dog and wonderful boy can now enjoy his life with the comfort and happiness he truly deserves.

❗️Travel Update for Clients Visiting Our Wimborne Practice❗️

Julian’s Bridge will be undergoing a temporary footway and traffic‑signal trial from Tuesday 26 May to Friday 3 July.

If you’re travelling to us from the Julian’s Bridge side of Wimborne, please allow additional time to reach the practice during this trial period.

Julian’s Bridge footway trial starts next week – temporary daytime closure on Tuesday.

A reminder that the temporary footway and traffic signal trial at Julian’s Bridge in Wimborne will start on Tuesday 26 May and will run until Friday 3 July.

To safely install the temporary traffic lights and barriers, the bridge will be closed to motor vehicles on Tuesday 26 May between 9.30am and 3.30pm. Pedestrians will still be able to cross, and cyclists can use the bridge by pushing their bikes, although there may be short waits while work takes place.

Once the set‑up is complete, the bridge will reopen to vehicles and the six‑week trial will begin.

Julian’s Bridge is a historic Grade I listed bridge with a narrow carriageway, meaning people on foot currently have to share the road with traffic at busy times. The trial will test whether signal‑controlled, one‑way traffic can create space for a dedicated pedestrian footway, making it safer and easier to cross while keeping traffic moving.

This is a trial only, designed to gather evidence and understand the impact on residents, businesses and road users before any future decisions are considered.

To share your views, a survey will be available online from Tuesday 26 May. Paper copies will be available at Wimborne and Corfe Mullen Libraries.
