Speaker bio page for Jill Hubbard

Bio

Jill qualified from the RVC in 1975 and went to work in Caernarfon. The practice was a bit James Herriot and they worked in the basement of a big Georgian house, where Jill lived in a flat. Mostly large animal, but she already had a particular interest in ophthalmology, and managed to pass an exam to become part of the BVA eye panel. They moved the practice to the house next door, and then 20 years ago moved to a purpose built practice.

Although they sold the practice in 2014, she is still working part time, and continues to spend some time doing the BVA eye tests for breeding dogs.

Jill was involved in the BVA young graduate support groups from the beginning 10 years ago.
