RVN since 1991, holds the Diploma in Advanced Veterinary Nursing (Surgical), with a special interest in orthopaedics, anaesthesia and training student nurses.
Joanna qualified as a Registered Veterinary Nurse in 1991 whilst working at a small animal practice in London. It was here that she developed her interest in surgery and anaesthesia, leading her to gain the Diploma in Advanced Veterinary Nursing (Surgical) in 1999.
In 2000, Joanna travelled around Australia and New Zealand before settling in Sydney, where she worked as a Senior Surgical Nurse at a multi-disciplinary specialist centre, overseeing the surgical department.
She returned to the UK in 2006 and joined a small animal first-opinion and referral practice in Northampton, continuing her career as a surgical nurse. She has since worked in a Northamptonshire surgical referral practice with responsibilities for anaesthesia and anaesthetic training, advanced surgical nursing, and training student nurses and helping prepare them for their examinations.
Joanna's clinical interests are centred on orthopaedics, radiography and anaesthesia, and she is particularly passionate about mentoring the next generation of veterinary nurses.
Outside of work, Joanna enjoys spending time with her two children and her laid-back cat Rudi. She plays squash and is working on her running, hoping for a place in the London Marathon soon.
