Linnaeus has appointed Patient Care Assistants Alice Boyle and Lilly Barnes to its Clinical Board.

This is the first time Linnaeus has appointed PCAs to its 68-strong clinical board, which aims to make it more inclusive by including a wider range of experience and expertise from every level in clinical practice.

The appointment of Alice Boyle from Maven Veterinary Care in Sutton, and Lily Barnes from Paragon Veterinary Referrals in Wakefield (pictured L-R), means PCAs are represented at a national senior level within Linnaeus.  

Professor Séverine Tasker, Chief Medical Officer at Linnaeus and Chair of the clinical board said: “When it comes to clinical excellence, a broad range of perspectives will strengthen our ability to explore and follow best practice.

"Everyone’s views and experiences are important.

"Our nursing teams are critical to the care of our patients, but until recently we only had RVN representation on the clinical board and wanted to involve our excellent team of PCAs as well."
