Miss Emma Stewart

I am an accomplished, caring Registered Veterinary Nurse who qualified in August 2018. I've always wanted to become a veterinary nurse since I was a child and in 2015 I began pursuing my dream. As far back as I can remember, I have always had a strong connection with animals, and I like to make that apparent with every animal I treat.

I endeavour to provide the highest quality care to both my clients and patients. I am a passionate, hard-working person and I take great pride in my work. I work well under pressure either within a team or independently and I believe that I use my initiative in situations to get the job done.

I have always felt that building a good professional relationship with colleagues is important; I want to make sure that workers are comfortable working alongside me as I am with them. I have a very professional attitude towards clients providing a polite and friendly service. I offer reassurance to both clients and pets during unnerving and difficult times, always believing to treat each animal as if they were my own.

I believe that since working with horses as well as small animals I am good at handling a range of animal sizes and it does not faze me. I also have a desire to learn, and I wish to further my education.
