KENTDALE RVN PULLS ON RUNNING SHOES FOR CAUSE CLOSE TO HER HEART

One of our amazing registered veterinary nurses (RVN) will be tackling the Great North Run next month to raise money for charity.

Lauren Bowe has signed up to take part in the famous half marathon to raise money for the British Heart Foundation.

An RVN here at Kentdale, Lauren was inspired to support the charity after her mum suffered a heart attack last year.

She said: “I’m currently training hard for this year’s Great North Run, raising money for the British Heart Foundation, which supports those living with cardiac and circulatory diseases. I chose this charity after my mum suffered a heart attack last May.

“She continuously supports me in every challenge I take on and is always my biggest cheerleader. She’s also the most selfless person I know – even in recovery from her stent, she was worrying if we’d eaten the dinner she was preparing when she had her heart attack!”

Lauren qualified as an RVN in 2016 and worked in general practice for three years before moving to Kentdale in 2020, where her colleagues have been fully supporting her fundraising mission.

She added: “I moved to Kentdale to develop my nursing skills and become more involved inpatient care. While here, I’ve also been improving my knowledge in orthopaedic surgery and anaesthesia.

“It’s been great to have the support of my colleagues at Kentdale while I’ve been training for the half marathon.”

Testimonials

  • There’s never a problem speaking to our lovely receptionists at Kentdale Vets to book an appointment; my little girl would not be with us now without Jan, her surgeon and the brilliant nurses that looked after her.

    Stephen – Nancy’s owner

  • If I could give a higher score, I would! This being our second referral, it has felt like coming home, and to feel that when we arrive with major trauma to our dog is wonderful. Immediately we were in smiley, reassuring, safe arms again, and our crisis rapidly disappeared. The immediate welcome from the reception staff to Kirstie, amazing Joe and even the reassuring and friendly night nursing staff all let us know our precious boy was in very safe hands. Can't speak highly enough - and this is a consistent standard.

    Ani – Floyd’s owner

  • Great communication between myself and the staff was kept updated, and they took great care of my dog! The operation went perfectly, and the scar has healed nicely, considering its place! Gave simple and easy-to-follow after-care steps!

    Kim – Bella’s owner

  • Felt my dog was safe with you, and treatment would be done with his best interests coming first. Follow-up physio with Genie and now Emma were excellent. Friendly staff.

  • I cannot say how amazing Kentdale is; your exceptional service and kindness. Thank you.

    Victoria – Lulu’s owner

  • All the staff go out of their way to be helpful. Nothing is too much trouble, and no question is considered stupid or a waste of time. They treat my dog, Riley, with respect and kindness and me the same. I can’t thank them enough for their help on what has been a rough road for Riley and us.

    Pat – Riley’s owner

  • Excellent doggy care. Nothing too much trouble, and the team all look happy in their jobs. Simon was great with us, and Henry kept us informed and gave clear explanations. Definitely would recommend it.

    Alison – Henry’s owner

  • Full confidence in the skills, equipment and expertise of the whole team. Assured by the staffing levels to respond to unplanned events during procedures and recovery. Across the team, the ability to explain and advise.
