My name is Francesca and I qualified from the University of Glasgow in 2015. I began my veterinary career in Southend-on-Sea, working in small animal general practice. While I found many areas of vet medicine rewarding, I gradually came to realise that ophthalmology had captured my heart. In 2022, I undertook a rotating internship at North Downs Specialist Referrals in Surrey, followed by an ophthalmology internship at the same hospital, alongside the BSAVA postgraduate certificate in small animal ophthalmology. I was then fortunate enough to join the team at the Royal Veterinary College where I am currently training as an ECVO resident. Outside of work, I enjoy yoga and aerial silks, exploring new places, as well as spending time with friends, my husband and our three-legged cat Dinky.
