Nichola Orchard

Nichola studied for her Level 3 Diploma in Veterinary Nursing at Medivet Training College (MTC) whilst working in practice. She began working in the veterinary industry in 2015 in North-West London, firstly as a patient care assistant then as a student veterinary nurse.

After qualifying in 2019, Nichola worked in a first opinion 24-hour hospital in Buckinghamshire before moving to Hamilton Specialist Referrals in 2020. Nichola particularly enjoys veterinary nursing because she loves that each day is different and thrives on providing high standards of care for all patients. Nichola has a particular interest in anaesthesia and theatre nursing and is excited to further her knowledge by working alongside our specialists and being involved in more complex surgical cases.

Outside of work, she has three cats, a black DSH called Molly and two ginger DSH brothers called Witton and Theo that she hand reared from two day old kittens.
