Nicola Cochrane RVN
I joined Two Rivers Veterinary Practice in December 2006 and am currently working in both the Biggar and Peebles branches. I qualified as a Veterinary Nurse in March 2007 after completing a course at Edinburgh's Telford College, which involved spending time at Glasgow University's Small Animal Hospital and working in a practice. My role at Two Rivers is varied and involves assisting the vets, monitoring patients before, during and after surgical or non-surgical procedures, advising clients on the care of their pets and reception duties. Over the years I have enjoyed working, owning or caring for a variety of animals such as dogs, cats, small furries and birds, reptiles, horses, sheep and cattle.

Julie Devine RVN
I qualified as a Veterinary Nurse in SE England in 1998 and since thenhave enjoyed working with a wide variety of animals and people.  I've previously worked at three busy practices and a large Veterinary Hospital where I developed a keen interest in surgical and intensive care nursing.  I joined Two Rivers in 2005 and am currently working part-time at the Biggar Practice.  My working day here might include assisting the Vets in the operating theatre, taking care of in-patients, running laboratory tests or advising clients on pet health care.  No day is ever the same and I think that’s what makes this job so special.
