Leona Anderson, BSc(Hons), MISAP, RVN

Leona has worked in veterinary practice doing a variety of duties since the age of 14 and qualified as an RVN via the Level 3 City and Guilds diploma in November of 2018. Since qualifying she went back to university to complete her top-up degree in veterinary nursing. She currently works in a private mixed animal practice in Oldmeldrum, Aberdeenshire. 

Leona loves learning and is always looking for the next area she can improve on! She enjoys all aspects of nursing, in particular medical management consultations such as diabetes management, wound management and dermatology, but also surgical nursing and diagnostic imaging. She has recently returned from a 6 month sabbatical with her partner where they travelled the world, visiting 12 different countries, which included working in Australia, Malaysia and Tanzania along the way; from locuming, to a conservation project with turtles, to shelter medicine. Since returning home she has started working towards her next goal which is a masters in Veterinary Physiotherapy.
