All training sessions and workshops are led by Kathryn Latimer Jones DipAVN, DipHE CVN, CertEd, CertVNECC, RVN.

Kathryn qualified as a veterinary nurse over 25 years ago. She began her career in primary care practice before moving into education as a lecturer in Veterinary Nursing. In 2007, she returned to clinical practice, joining the Small Animal Teaching Hospital at the University of Liverpool, and later Northwest Veterinary Specialists, a multidisciplinary, specialist-led referral hospital.

Kathryn’s professional passion lies in high-dependency nursing, caring for both surgical and medical patients. She is a tutor for the Vets Now Certificate in Veterinary Nursing in Emergency and Critical Care and has published several peer-reviewed articles in The Veterinary Nurse.

Kathryn is deeply passionate about teaching CPR and understands how stressful and overwhelming this can feel for veterinary teams. Her training style is supportive and practical, helping teams develop confidence and perform CPR effectively in these high-pressure situations.

In 2020, Kathryn travelled to Sweden to attend the RECOVER CPR Instructor Workshop—an intensive two-day programme led by Dr Dan Fletcher, co-chair of RECOVER, and Kenichiro Yagi, Programme Director. Alongside her teaching and training work, Kathryn also works as a locum RVN, supporting practices around her other professional commitments.
