We’re delighted to welcome Amy Hardy who joined the 387 team as a new student nurse just last week. Amy is no stranger to the veterinary industry. Her previous job was working for five years as a veterinary receptionist in small animal practice in the West Midlands. Great with client care, Amy also loved meeting everyone’s pets and, looking to expand her skills portfolio, was keen to move into nursing, helping and observing the nursing team as much as she could. Amy’s passion and determination to become a veterinary nurse was clear at her interview for our student nurse vacancy and she’s already doing a brilliant job on wards. She’ll soon be starting to help on reception on Saturdays and at other times as needed, so do say hello when you’re next in!

Veterinary Nursing Awareness Month (which we’re rolling into June), isn’t just about celebrating the role of qualified nurses. It’s also about raising awareness around what the job can entail and championing students currently working towards a career in veterinary nursing. Our student nurse Isobel initially started at 387 Vets volunteering for a day a week whilst studying for an Animal Management Diploma to gain course-required practical experience in an animal-related environment. Three years later, she has just completed the second year of her Level 3 Veterinary Nursing Diploma and, after the summer, will be starting to prepare for her oral Professional Discussion with an industry panel and final practical examinations (OSCEs) to become a Registered Veterinary Nurse! What have been the highlights so far?
“I loved starting in kennels and on cat ward to really get to know the inpatient role properly before moving into other areas in practice. I have had lots of opportunity to take clinics and feel competent running nurse consults. Learning anaesthetics under supervision has been really interesting, and I particularly love seeing pets going through the whole journey now from admit to discharge, and being an active part in it all. It’s like piecing the whole jigsaw together.”
The time has flown! We look forward to supporting Isobel in the exciting months aheads!

We’re really passionate about supporting veterinary clinicians of the future, offering experience opportunities for school, mature and vet students as well as being a registered Training Practice for student veterinary nurses. Isabel first came to us back in April 2023, volunteering one day a week to see what life is like behind the scenes in veterinary practice. Holder of an Animal Care and Management Diploma and a Foundation Zoo Animal and Conservation Management Degree, Isabel knew she wanted to work with animals and we were delighted when she decided she would like to train to become a veterinary nurse with us. The first year of an apprenticeship in practice is very much kennels and ward-based. Now in the second year of her Level 3 Veterinary Nursing Diploma, Isabel is shadowing nurse consultations and will soon be going more regularly into theatre to learn about pre-op patient preparation as well as patient care, monitoring and observations under anaesthesia. We are loving watching your skills and abilities grow, Isabel, and are excited about supporting you in this more clinically involved next stage of your course, on your way to becoming a Registered Veterinary Nurse!

He’s lost an impressive 4 kilos in two months and his owner has already noticed Sherlock is much more energetic and is less stiff after longer walks. Keep up the good work Sherlock!
