Had such a lovely visit to Patch and Purr Vets in Clavering today, a gorgeous new independent practice with a real sense of care at its heart.

What made it even more special was seeing Chloe, one of our former students from Dick White Academy, now thriving as their Lead Nurse 💚

There’s something truly wonderful about seeing the next generation of vet nurses growing into roles where they make such a difference, with kindness, confidence, and calm.

So proud of you, Chloe, and wishing the whole team at Patch and Purr every success 🐾✨
