In October 2021, Donna spoke to Silvia, a vet originating from Slovakia. If you would like to watch the entire interview, you can do so here.

During their brilliantly interesting chat, Donna asked Silvia what she loves about physio and Silvia gave a fabulous answer:

You can use it as a preventative thing as well as a treatment and it’s a great complimentary thing… complimentary to your surgery, medications, all of the stuff that vets do. You’d be missing out on half the treatment if you didn’t have physios or all the other part of the team that help the animal to recover… if it’s say a post-surgery physio. It’s just somebody that I can work with. I’m by no means somebody who’s like “oh I know it all”: I need a team, I’m such a team person.

“I obtained a BSc in Veterinary Science and a MSc in Wild Animal Biology prior to graduating with a vet degree from the RVC in 2014. Throughout my 8-year education at the RVC, I also worked in their e-Media department on various projects that enhanced student learning. After graduating I completed an equine internship and obtained a Certificate in Veterinary Business Management from the University of Liverpool. I have a portfolio career working as an ambulatory equine vet, consulting within the animal health industry (www.innoveting.com), and running a start-up (Flexee, www.flexee.vet) that looks at flexible working for permanent vet employees. On the volunteer side, I am a SPVS board member, and a member of the Greener Veterinary Practice working group for VetSustain”
