Join us on our next Cuppa Tea With the Vet. We meet Serena Musto from FirstVet! "I am originally from Italy and graduated in Naples in 2007. Right after graduation, I moved to Spain and worked as a small animal vet for 3 years. In 2011, I moved to the UK to continue to grow professionally. I then gained a certificate in Small animal medicine and have been practicing as a GP vet since then. I am currently studying a ISFM Advance Feline behaviour course as I believe I can help owners to better understand their cats so they can live happier and better together. For the past two years, I have been diversifying into telemedicine which has improved my work-life balance as well as covering occasional shifts as a Locum vet to continue my job in clinical practice with less pressure. In my spare time I cook and bake for myself and friends and I am growing my own veggies!"
Join us on our next Cuppa Tea With the Vet. We meet Luis Sousa of FirstVet. "My name is Luis, I am Portuguese by birth, but have chosen to be Welsh for the past 3 years.

Join us on our next Cuppa Tea With the Vet! We meet Eleanor Flynn of the Oxford Cat Clinic. "I have worked as a vet in cat-only practice since 2013. My main interests are pain management and disease prevention. I am passionate about helping cat owners to navigate the difficulties of having a cat with a chronic illness, as I have my own cat with a chronic illness. I started an informational website for cat owners called All Cats in 2021 in response to the surge in pet ownership, an increased desire from owners for more information about their cat’s condition, coupled with massive veterinary staff shortages resulting in shorter consultation times."

We are so excited to have our next vet on board! Chris Furley MRCVS, Henley Mobile vet! This man's Bio is huge! So don't miss it! He has extensive knowledge. He has been the head vet for Singapore Zoo and was a lecturer at the RVC for 10years! He now feels strongly about bring veterinary care to the pet and seeing them in their own environment. He also has a strong passion for nutrition and human medicine integration.
Christel was our first vet of 2021 to join us for our Cuppa Tea! Listen to learn about Mobile vets! "I am a small animal vet who graduated in 2002 from Bristol. Until November last year I was still in my first job! I enjoyed medicine and surgery but especially focused on diagnostic imaging with a lean towards ultrasound. I was able to gain lots of experience in this being the main sonographer for the large practice I worked in. I also used acupuncture to complement my regular medical therapy. After years of considering it, I’ve decided to get on the road with my skills and have set up VetMobile UK, which will see me providing diagnostic work and medical treatment at the owners home or nearby. I’ll have ultrasound and lab capability, and am ready to meet the challenges of combining old fashioned home visit service with modern diagnostic technology. Outside of this new all encompassing role, I’m a keen amateur dressage rider, with a chestnut mare that I bred keeping me on my toes!"
We have had another amazing Cuppa Tea with the Vet! This time with Abigail Davis! Abby's Bio: I qualified from the RVC in 2013, having previously finished a completely unrelated degree at Durham. I started off in a first opinion, small animal practice and joined Vets Now 18 months later to pursue an interest in emergency and critical care (and a disinterest in early mornings). I spent some time as a principal vet at a couple of lovely clinics in the Midlands before moving in early 2020 to join the team at Eastcott Referrals in their new ICU. I now work nights, seeing emergencies and looking after critical inpatients. I’m also doing a certificate in ECC. I love reading, walking, horse riding, video games and spending time with my 2 year old daughter.
