A small animal vet has been recognised as the UK’s first Master General Practitioner (GP) in small animal surgery by the ISVPS. Jane Feneley, who opened Norfolk’s Summerhill Veterinary Centre in 1993, was awarded the certification in recognition of her dedication to professional development, having achieved 180 post graduate points for the Masters level award.
Feneley already holds multiple qualifications including a PG certificate in Emergency Medicine and Surgery, a postgraduate diploma in Advanced Veterinary Practice Sciences, GP certificates in Small Animal Surgery and Advanced Small Animal Orthopaedic Surgery and a Focus Certificate in Veterinary Arthroscopy. She is a RCVS advanced practitioner in small animal surgery and in emergency medicine and critical care and is currently studying for further certifications in pain management and small animal musculoskeletal ultrasound.
The recognition comes at the same time as Feneley’s appointment to chair of IVC Evidensia’s Small Animal Clinical Board, an advisory committee which supports first opinion practices within the group with evidence-based care, quality assurance and medical strategies. She was previously on the group’s Clinical Board, having joined in 2019 and served as vice chair since 2022.
Feneley said:
“I have always loved learning, and CPD has been incredibly important throughout my career to date. I’ve worked hard over the last 35 years to gain additional qualifications and to take advantage of every development opportunity I could to build on my own knowledge and capabilities.
“I very much look forward to sharing this experience and working with the rest of the board to support our small animal colleagues across IVC Evidensia in providing the best possible standards of care.”
