Abby joined our nursing team in May 2025.  She hails from Tomintoul and undertook her veterinary nurse training at UHI Thurso.  She especially enjoys laboratory work as well as general nursing, and is already a firm favourite with some of our patients!  At home she has two Labradors, a spaniel and a selection of ducks and hens to keep her supplied with eggs.
