Nursing Manager
Eleri Counsell
Nursing Manager
BSc (Hons) RVN
Eleri loves being a nurse at Langford vets as it challenges her nursing skills daily, she is constantly using the nursing skills that she learnt throughout her training and first few years as a qualified nurse and she is always learning new nursing skills. She really enjoys the relationship that the nurses have with our clinicians, and the autonomy that they give to them as colleagues. She has carried out several CPD within management and surgical nursing and loves to attend our onsite CPD courses carried out by her fellow nurses.
Eleri’s main interests are inpatient care, primarily neurological patients; as they require many different nursing skills and she gets to know the patients and their owners. She loves being part of such a wonderful team that always looks to help and support each other.
