Daizy Self
Daizy has always lived locally in Littledown and attended primary school in Highcliffe and then Holmfield School in Winkton. She worked in a cafe in Southbourne after leaving school before working as a trainee nurse at Spring Corner Veterinary Centre. She then travelled to Christchurch in New Zealand and worked in a local authority role but missed Bournemouth and working with animals so she returned in 2013 and joined the team as a nursing and reception assistant in December.

As well as considerable veterinary knowledge and experience Daizy is always cheerful and extremely approachable making her a popular addition to our fabulous team!
