Jane Feneley MRCVS from Summerhill Veterinary Centre in Norfolk has been recognised as the UK’s first Master General Practitioner (GP) in small animal surgery by the ISVPS.

Jane, who has also just been appointed to chair IVC's Small Animal Clinical Board, was awarded the certification in recognition of her dedication to professional development, having achieved 180 post graduate points for the Masters level award.

Jane already holds a PG certificate in Emergency Medicine and Surgery, a postgraduate diploma in Advanced Veterinary Practice Sciences, GP certificates in Small Animal Surgery and Advanced Small Animal Orthopaedic Surgery and a Focus Certificate in Veterinary Arthroscopy.

She is also an RCVS advanced practitioner in small animal surgery and in emergency medicine and critical care and is currently studying for further certifications in pain management and small animal musculoskeletal ultrasound.

Jane said: "I have always loved learning, and CPD has been incredibly important throughout my career to date.

"I’ve worked hard over the last 35 years to gain additional qualifications and to take advantage of every development opportunity I could to build on my own knowledge and capabilities.

“I very much look forward to sharing this experience and working with the rest of the board to support our small animal colleagues across IVC Evidensia in providing the best possible standards of care.”
