Dr Lily Richards BSc BVSc MRCVS
Having qualified from the University of Liverpool, UK in 2011, Lily started off clinical work in a mixed animal practice in Torbay Devon treating farm animals, companion animals and horses. Lily grew an interest in exotics, so moved practices to explore and grow that interest, ending up running a branch of a busy hospital with a fantastic team. During her time developing skills outside of clinical veterinary work, Lily discovered a passion for client education and communication, creating hospital sheets and discharge paperwork as well as leaflets for common illnesses to help pet owners understand their pet's conditions and treatments. This passion developed further into Lily's medical writing business as she strives to make medical jargon understandable, so pet owners can make informed decisions and feel confident helping their pets be as healthy as they can be.
