About Emmi Purhonen

BScVN, BSc (Hons) Tox

Head Nurse

Originally from Helsinki, Finland. In 2006, Emmi decided to move to Ireland to pursue her passion for animals. Since then she has had the pleasure to work with some amazing humans and animals both in Ireland and Australia.

Emmi has a special interest in radiology, anaesthesia, and fear-free handling. Her dedication to excellent veterinary care and kindness to animals is why she is our beloved head nurse. Currently, Emmi is also training to be a veterinary rehabilitation nurse, where she is learning new skills in physiotherapy, massage, and therapeutic exercises to help all animal patients.

Outside work Emmi can be found snorkelling, hiking, and walking with her absolutely lovely rescue greyhound, Bu.
