Lacey joined us in March 2020. She had previously worked at a veterinary practice in Surrey for 15 years, starting as a Student Veterinary Nurse then becoming a Registered Veterinary Nurse and the last 10 years of her time there as the Head Nurse.

This Practice Director position provided the career progression that she was looking for whilst still allowing her to continue to use her veterinary nursing skills.
