Carla Finzel set up the first UK district veterinary nurse (DVN) service in Sussex in 2015 and hopes to develop the concept nationally. She sees her work as the embodiment of the One Welfare – One Health ideal in providing help for the pets of owners who may be too frail themselves to bring the animal in for clinic-based veterinary care. Carla was born in Madrid and grew up in Spain and Ireland. She is the adopted daughter of a musician father, and mother who is a nurse.
