Mandisa qualified from the Royal (Dick) Vet School in Edinburgh in 2008 and has since spent much of her career working in emergency and critical care – leading teams in both daytime and out of hours.

She was president of the RCVS Council in 2020/21 and has also worked for Harper Adams University as a lecturer in veterinary sciences.

She’s currently an RCVS Knowledge trustee, a STEM ambassador and a Vetlife volunteer.

Patricia Colville, Vets Now’s chief operating officer, said: “Mandisa brings a wealth of experience to this role and I’m excited about the prospect of working alongside her.

“She recognises the importance of delivering a caring and quality clinical service and will help ensure every member of our team deliver the best care for the pets they treat.”
