At NationWide Laboratories, we deeply appreciate the dedication that veterinary professionals bring into animal healthcare. Our work wouldn’t be successful without the close-knit bond between veterinary practices and our laboratory teams. For us, the journey from receiving a sample to delivering results is more than just a process – it’s a collaboration built on shared commitments.

We see ourselves as part of the same team as vets and nurses, working alongside you to provide the insights needed to make the right diagnosis. Behind every report is a team of individuals whose expertise and professionalism drive the service we provide. That is why we have created the Follow Your Dreams e-book – to introduce you to the humans behind the laboratory results and celebrate the extraordinary people who help to make it all happen.

Follow Your Dreams e-book, written by Fiona Farmer BVSc MRCVS, explores the stories of 12 inspiring women who bring passion, dedication, and resilience to their roles at NationWide Laboratories. From laboratory managers and pathologists to operations staff and laboratory scientists, their journeys highlight the perseverance and ingenuity that fuel their work.

This collection reveals diverse paths, from fostering supportive workplace cultures to pursuing careers that cross continents. Each story showcases the challenges overcome and the shared desire to make a meaningful impact in the veterinary industry. It is about overcoming self-doubt, stepping into new opportunities, and finding strength in supporting each other. These stories capture moments of resilience, the empathy that shapes every decision, and a genuine sense of community. They embody the shared ethos that defines our work: supporting veterinary practices and safeguarding animal welfare, while navigating personal journeys.

So, pour yourself a cup of tea and take a moment to reflect. Discover the lives and lessons of remarkable women shaping veterinary diagnostics. Their stories might resonate with your own – or inspire you to follow your dreams.
