Jodie Steel

Before starting her veterinary nursing career, Jodie studied Animal Management, Behaviour and Welfare at Hull and then Chester university. She graduated in 2017 achieving a 1st class Honours degree along with academic recognition from her lecturers.

In her first year at university she began working at Cuan Wildlife Rescue, one of the largest wildlife casualty centres in the UK. She progressed to a senior role and discovered her interest in medicine and nursing. This led her to her next role as a mobile patient care assistant at a large veterinary group, travelling to various practices across the west midlands area, and then to a busy 24 hour hospital in Shrewsbury, Shropshire. Here she learnt a vast array of skills, taking particular interest in ECC, schedule 3 procedures, hydrotherapy, microscopy and cytology, anaesthesia, and diagnostic imaging. She qualified in July 2022 and joined VSS in September.

Jodie loves the variety of cases we see and is looking forward to learning even more.
