My name is Lucy Bridger and I am a practice partner here at the Hove surgery. I qualified as an RVN in 2004. Since then, I have worked in many small animal and exotic veterinary practices, as well as doing night shifts at emergency clinics.

I enjoy all aspects of my job as a nurse. I have a rescue Labrador called Ruby.
