Judith Smith

I joined Pelyn Vets in 1997, training as a Pre-Veterinary Nurse while studying at Duchy College. I then went on to qualify as a Registered Veterinary Nurse in 2001 and have proudly built my career within the practice ever since. I spent many years as Head Nurse, a role I thoroughly enjoyed, before moving into my current support-focused position.

Throughout my career, I have taken on many rewarding roles, including community outreach, running our popular puppy playgroups, fire marshall as well and the duties of a Head Nurse. As a clinical coach, I have helped train and mentor many student veterinary nurses and now oversee all student nurses, working closely with Duchy College and the College of Animal Welfare. In my current role, I also oversee the schedules and wellbeing of our 66 support staff.

Outside of work, I enjoy spending time by the sea with family, friends and my energetic Collie. I am incredibly proud to be part of such a dedicated and caring team.
