Lead Oncology Registered Veterinary Nurse

Inge qualified as a veterinary nurse from University College Dublin in 2007, and spent 8 years working in small animal practice in Ireland and Australia. In 2015 she relocated, working as both a surgical and medical oncology referral nurse in Surrey for 5 years while also achieving her advanced diploma in veterinary nursing. She helped to set up a new oncology service in Buckinghamshire in 2020, further specialising with a post graduate certificate in oncology, before moving to Bristol in 2023 to work across medical and radiation oncology.

There, she achieved her veterinary technician specialist qualification in oncology, a qualification that fewer than 10 RVNs in the UK hold. Inge moved to her role as lead oncology RVN at London Vet Specialists in March 2025, and is proud to be working with a passionate and patient-focused team to provide exceptional cancer care. Inge has developed a deep passion for supporting pet carers and helping enhance patient quality of life, inspired by her personal experience of losing her beloved chihuahua cross, Erik, to cancer in recent years.

She is also a firm advocate for veterinary nurse development and education and enjoys sharing her oncology knowledge with others via her Instagram page @OncologyRVN. Outside of work, Inge volunteers with Streetvet, loves to travel, read and bake.

I am happy to help with speaking Irish.
