Melissa Packer BVet Med Cert Equine Surgery (Soft Tissue Surgery) MRCVS.

“My goal from the age of 7 years was to be a veterinary surgeon. I qualified from the Royal Veterinary College in London in 2003 and spent several years in first opinion practice.  I gained a clinical training scholarship from the Horse Trust, in 2007, at the Philip Leverhulme Equine Hospital, Leahurst, Liverpool in Equine Surgery.  This opportunity provided training in referral hospitals and research.  I gained a RCVS certificate in Equine Soft Tissue surgery and then in 2015 established the company Melissa Packer Equine Veterinary Services Limited”.
