Laura Jones

Senior Medicine Nurse and Veterinary Technician Specialist in Small Animal Internal Medicine

Laura qualified as an RVN in 2010, before going on to complete the RCVS advanced nursing diploma in 2014, a top-up degree in advanced nursing in 2017, and the ISFM diploma in feline nursing in 2018.
After spending the first half of her career working primarily in small animal general practice and emergency centres, Laura became an Internal Medicine nurse in 2015. She spent 4 years working as a Senior Medicine Nurse in a multidisciplinary referral hospital in Hampshire, before joining Team Ralph as Senior Medicine Nurse in January 2019. Later that year, Laura became a Veterinary Technician Specialist (VTS) in Small Animal Internal Medicine, completing the Academy of Internal Medicine for Veterinary Technicians entrance exams in Arizona.
Laura is passionate about all aspects of medical nursing, particularly assisting with medical procedures, caring for hospitalised patients, and building great relationships with her regular patients and their families. There is nothing she loves more than really getting to know a patient, and she can often be found sneaking treats into the ward in an attempt to get her patients eating!
Laura is also an enthusiastic teacher and enjoys training and supporting the team of internal medicine nurses and student nurses, alongside lecturing nationally and internationally to other nurses and technicians.
Outside of nursing, Laura is a keen kickboxer and is kept busy with her clan of rescue cats, tortoises and chickens!
