Sara graduated from vet school in 2010 working as a GP vet for six years before starting an eight-year career in emergency and critical care. During those eight years, Sara discovered her passion for all non-technical skills as she feels they are the foundation block for staff well-being, optimal client care and excellent patient safety. Sara has been able to use these skills in unique settings such as Europe’s longest sled-dog race.
Clinically Sara enjoys trauma, CPR and sepsis; enjoying these high pressure clinical situations has helped her realise the importance of decision making under pressure and excellent team communication. Currently a multi-portfolio worker Sara’s focus is on the “art” of veterinary medicine by helping others discover human factors through her training work with VetlLed, creating teaching content for vet schools and starting her own business, Reflect to Rise, alongside locum work.
Through her clinical and non-clinical work Sara has talked at multiple national and international conferences including BVA Live, Vets Now ECC Congress, London Vet Show, VetLed and EVECCs. Sara is also proud to work as a BVA great veterinary workplaces accreditor and to represent the North East of England on BVA Council.
Outside of work Sara loves to spend time outdoors with her husband, Guy and her dogs, Trojan and Ajax.
