Fiona visited Vets4pets Burscough last week to provide her first full day of in-house CPD covering both wound management and bandaging techniques and said the experience was awesome! Fiona extends her thanks to the practice team who made her feel so welcome and relaxed on her debut as a Bandaging Angel!

The Veterinary Wound Library is excited to announce 2 new additions to their team of Bandaging Angels and would like to extend a very warm welcome to Fiona Leathers RVN and Emma Storer RVN.
​ 
Following completion of the Delving Deeper Into Wounds Certificate (Accredited by Lantra), which VWL deliver in association with BVNA (British Veterinary Nursing Association), and passing with flying colours, both Fiona and Emma are excited to join the Bandaging Angels Team to help us educate other veterinary nurses and Veterinary Surgeons in 'Best Practice' of Wound Management whilst also fulfilling their passion for wounds.​

​It is with a heavy heart that we wish to announce Caroline Moore, our Small Animal Bandaging Angel for North West UK, has decided to step down from her role so she can spend more quality time with her family and husband, Dan.
 
We would like to take this opportunity to thank Caroline for all her inspiration, support and hard work in developing the Bandaging Angels to become the success that they are today.
 
As a founder member of the Bandaging Angels team, having written numerous case studies and articles based on her experience and passion with wounds, Caroline will be sorely missed but we would like to wish her every success in her future endeavours.
