VETERINARY SURGEONS

 

JENNIFER WILLIAMSON   BVet Med MRCVS

 

                                                      

I qualified from the University of London on July 18th 1973. 

I worked for a while in a practice in Northampton, then for a while in a large hospital in Plymouth.

I then set up my own practice in Redruth and then later in Penryn.

I have been living and working in this area for over 20 years now and could not imagine wanting to be anywhere else.

For several years I have been and continue to be a regular guest on BBC Radio Cornwalls phone-in with Tim Hubbard on a Sunday from 11am - 12 when I take general questions from callers about pets and animals.

 

Can you spot Mrs.Williamson in this college photo?
