Dr Rachael Birkbeck

DVM PGCert MVetMed DACVECC MRCVS, Specialist in Emergency and Critical Care
Rachael completed her residency in Emergency and Critical Care at the Royal Veterinary College. Currently she works at The Ralph Veterinary Referral Hospital alongside 4 other specialists in ECC. Before moving into a referral setting, she worked sole charge out-of-hours in primary care practice, as such she can empathise with the challenges experienced by colleagues on the front line. Although she enjoys clinical work and research, the aspects of her job she loves the most are mentoring and teaching and finds it is great being part of someone else’s success!
