New nursing manager for Aura Veterinary

Craig Bailey.

A veterinary nurse who can often be found on the police beat has taken up a new senior role with Aura Veterinary in Surrey.

When he’s not in practice, Craig Bailey spends some of his spare time working as a Special Constable with a Hertfordshire Police intervention unit supporting emergency responses.

Now, he hopes to apply his clinical and leadership experiences to a new nursing manager post at the Guildford practice.

‘New challenge’

Mr Bailey said: “I am grateful for the opportunity to take on this new challenge and look forward to working with the talented team at Aura to deliver exceptional care, and make a positive impact on the lives of our patients and their loved ones.”

Mr Bailey has worked in a variety of settings and disciplines, and has made the move from cardiothoracic nursing at a referral centre. His grounding in mixed practice, emergency and critical care, and anaesthesia, complemented by further study in leadership, will bring a wealth of skills and insight to the role.

A major part of his role will be active mentoring as a clinical supervisor, supporting fellow nurses and VCAs as they obtain further qualifications and develop their skills. Mr Bailey is himself working towards a second veterinary leadership management qualification from the VMG.
