Mixed animal vet Sarah Carr has been named president of the BVA Welsh Branch.

Sarah, who runs her own flock of crossbred commercial ewes, has a wealth of experience in a range of clinical practice and veterinary representative roles.

After graduating from Liverpool Veterinary School in 2004, Sarah spent some time as a locum vet in her native Somerset, before heading out to Morocco to volunteer for a charity that works with donkeys and mules.

On her return to the UK, she joined a mixed veterinary practice in Monmouthshire, where she gained experience in farm animal practice. She later moved to Abbey Equine Clinic to further develop her skills as an equine vet. She has a special interest in modern equine dentistry and passed her BEVA/BEDA exams in 2014.

Commenting on her appointment, Sarah said: “I am honoured to be elected as the President of BVA Welsh Branch. I believe that my experience over the years in a range of clinical practices and previous veterinary representative roles have equipped me to represent the profession.

“I have lots of ideas for the role and I look forward to working with the BVA Branch team and veterinary colleagues throughout Wales to best represent their views and ensure the profession continues to be seen as a valued, evidence-based body on animal health, welfare and disease eradication.”

Sarah has been an active member of BVA’s Young Vet Network, arranging social events and CPD for members. She has also represented the BEVA on BVA’s Welsh Branch Committees.

Congratulating Sarah on her election, BVA President Gudrun Ravetz said: “I am delighted to welcome Sarah as President of BVA Welsh Branch and know she will bring both knowledge and passion to the role. The work of BVA’s Branches is invaluable in representing the veterinary profession right across the UK.

“Many of Wales’ animal health and welfare successes could not have been achieved without veterinary input and involvement, such as the reduction of bovine TB cases, and I know Sarah will continue this successful joined-up working with Government, farmers, vets and other partners.”
