Sinéad Bennett
BVM&S BSc MRCVS
Biography
I qualified from Dick Vet in 2008 and started in mixed practice, before moving in to out-of-hours work. After a period as a locum, I took on a role as Clinical Director of a CVS multi-site clinic, followed by a large hospital. In 2018 I took on the role of Hub Clinical Lead where, as part of an amazing team, I was able to inspire others with my passion for high clinical standards and improve the services we offered across the group - gaining RCVS Knowledge Awards for the small animal division/hub clinical leadership team in 2021 and 2024 and highly commended in 2022. This most recent role brought me into contact with vets and nurses from all sorts of backgrounds, serving communities of all types, and working in practices of all shapes and sizes. I then returned to locum work whilst I set up my own practice.
I am due to open my own practice early 2025 where I will be able to follow my passion for developing both vets and nurses, with a focus on the development of nurse led services, in order to make the best use of their professional skills.
I am passionate about creating cultures of honesty, openness and integrity, admitting to mistakes and talking about them; encouraging others to do the same. I’m an evidence-based vet who is respectful of the stance of others, happy to explain why I make the decisions I make and eager to listen to what others have to say.
