Victoria qualified as a veterinary surgeon from the University of Bristol, and is married to a veterinarian whom she met when she was training. After a short time in practice, she left to have four children. During this time Victoria and her husband started their own practice but on returning to full time work she went into teaching veterinary nurses, which she did for 20 years. Victoria has written a range of textbooks for veterinary nurses and has also represented the interests of vet nurses on various Royal College committees. She is now retired but still retains links with her profession. Melanie qualified as a Veterinary Nurse in 1990, with experience in mixed and small animal practice, going on to work at The Royal Veterinary College. She attended University College London and graduated in 1996 with an honours degree in Zoology. Melanie joined The College of Animal Welfare as a lecturer in Anatomy and Physiology, where she taught this subject to veterinary nurses and attained a PGCE (PCET). This role led to her collaboration with Vicky Aspinall to co-write the A & P chapter for the Textbook of Veterinary Nursing, and subsequently the textbook An Introduction to Anatomy and Physiology. Melanie was involved in establishing the first veterinary clinical skills centre in the UK, at The Royal Veterinary College, culminating in a position as an Academic Fellow in Veterinary Education. After a move to Sussex with her husband (a veterinary surgeon) and family, Melanie spent ten years working in a primary school, before combining all her interests in her current role working as a freelance Environmental Educator on behalf of The David Shepherd Wildlife Foundation.
