I am the Founder, CEO and Clinical Director of The Ralph Veterinary Referral Centre. This is a multidisciplinary small animal specialist referral hospital in the South East of England west of and near London. The Ralph has one of the UK's biggest 24-7-365 Emergency and Critical Services. Our compassion- and ethical practice-focused startup hospital opened in February 2019. It is now (October 2023) the UK's largest independent (non-corporate, non-university) referral centre with ~230 Ralphers. (http://theralph.vet/)

I set up the Veterinary ECC Small Talk project. This is now centred on a busy Facebook group with 54,000 members as of October 2023 (https://www.facebook.com/groups/veterinaryeccsmalltalk/). I also wrote a book and developed an app on Small Animal Emergency Medicine (https://www.kimbavetapps.com/).

I set up, personally fund and run The Ralph Site (http://www.theralphsite.com/), a non-profit pet loss support project including a website with information, resources and memorials, a blog, and a busy Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/TheRalphSite/) and private group (https://www.facebook.com/groups/theralphsite). The group now has 12,000 members (October 2023).

I am a Co-founder of Ethical Globe (https://www.ethicalglobe.com/), a directory and community of vegan people, businesses, organisations and projects, and of Veterinary Vegan Network (https://www.facebook.com/groups/vetvegans/).

In 2023, I became a Board Member for BradyCare, an animal welfare and veterinary education charity (https://bradycare.org/).

I studied at the Royal Veterinary College and Middlesex University from 2006-2010, where I was able to work across first opinion, mixed and referral practice. Since becoming a RVN I have worked in first opinion, exotics (in Hong Kong) and mixed practice and have gained the Cert VNES for nursing exotic species (2012).

I have taught Level 3 Diploma students and gained a Level 3 Award in Education and Teaching. I then went on to study for the PGCert in Vet Education with the RVC.

I am passionate about human factors in practice, and how much of an impact our words and experiences can have on one another. I am keen to learn more about leadership, and I feel that Nonviolent communication (NVC) has a place in veterinary practice and veterinary education. 

Throughout my recent study I have focused on professional identity and hope to be able to get involved in research regarding my passions.
