IZZY LEWIN BSc (hons) RCVS RGN PostGrad Dip NAVP
Izzy is a Registered Veterinary Nurse and Veterinary Physiotherapist. Having grown up around animals, particularly horses, she always knew my future would involve working with them, helping them thrive!
Her veterinary career began after graduating from Hartpury University in 2021 with a first-class honours as a Veterinary Nurse. Following graduation, she worked in a variety of veterinary practices, primarily as a locum veterinary nurse. This gave her the opportunity to work within different clinical environments, develop a broad range of skills and gain valuable experience. It was during this time that her interest in musculoskeletal health and injury rehabilitation really began to develop.
This inspired her to take the plunge and head to Nottingham Vet School, where she qualified as veterinary physiotherapist.
She is passionate about taking an individual approach to every patient, recognising that no two animals are the same. Whether supporting recovery following injury or surgery, maintaining mobility as animals age, or helping performance animals achieve their full potential, her aim is always to improve comfort, movement and overall wellbeing.
She sees herself as being very lucky to say that she loves her job; building relationships with both animals and their owners, seeing the progress patients make and helping them feel more comfortable.
