Annabel Goddard

Annabel joined Vale Vets and Referrals as a hospital assistant before becoming a student veterinary nurse and qualifying in 2014. She then joined the referral nursing team, achieving a Nurses certificate in anaesthesia. Annabel has recently come back to join the senior nursing team following maternity leave.

As part of the senior nursing team, Annabel is responsible for the running of the clinical floor and is also the team leader for our hospital assistants. Annabel is developing all her leadership skills and experience within this role supporting the hospital assistant team through conducting team meetings, carrying out recruitment and supporting inductions and ongoing training.

Annabel has a particular interest in anaesthesia and enjoys working with interesting cases and clinical emergencies. She still manages to work within the various referral departments on complex cases alongside her senior nursing duties. 

When not at work, Annabel enjoys baking and reading as a self-titled ‘book nerd’ but also loves being with her baby and black Labrador Bertie.
