• I thrive with inpatient care; this area I enjoy most and love to follow a patient from start to finish; medical or surgical I thrive when giving patients my all, getting to know them and discharging them when feeling better after all their treatment. Working on reception is another aspect of the job; selling products to clients, making appointments, admitting and discharging animals and answering the phone dealing with various queries. I really love it all.
