Lisa Birnie RVN

Registered Veterinary Nurse
Practice Manager

Experience
I have worked in both mixed and small animal veterinary practices since 2000 and qualified as a veterinary nurse in 2005.   I have always been interested in the management side and fulfilled one of my career goals and became a Practice Manager in 2009. I joined the Millennium team in 2018 as the Practice Manager. 

Interests
I am proud to work in the veterinary industry and to be a Registered Veterinary Nurse in a practice manager role.  I have a Level 5 qualification in Leadership an Management and am working towards a Level 5 in Coaching and Mentoring.  Both these qualifications enhance my role in supporting our team.  Mental health support is vital for all walks of life and I am one of the practice's Mental Health First Aiders.  As a practice with a long history in this community we strive to provide the very best of patient and client care.  This needs a full team approach and I am proud to help lead our team.  

Activities
I live with my family and our pets are growing steadily, we have two Staffordshire bull terriers, chickens and many fish! My family have an active lifestyle and enjoy the outdoors. I am currently working towards my green belt in karate, am a keen gardener and DIY enthusiast!
