Edinburgh Napier VN awarded posthumous First Class Honours degree
Amidst recent graduation celebrations, the JMICAWE team has
been remembering the short but brilliant life of Napier Veterinary Nursing
student Meghan Ambrozevich-Blair, who was recently awarded a posthumous First
Class Honours degree.
Meghan’s life was full of compassion; she strove to improve
the lives of all animals around her, from picking up earthworms after the rain,
to gaining medals for being the best HNC and HND Animal care student at Barony
College, Dumfries.
In 2015, Meghan signed up for a project with the JMICAWE
team - Vet Heather Bacon and Veterinary Nurse Hayley Walters, collaborating with
the Kerala Veterinary and Animal Sciences University (KVASU) in India - to
showcase the value of compassionate and well-trained veterinary nurses The
initiative has encouraged KVASU to start their own veterinary nursing training
programme, and to improve the welfare of dogs and cats within its veterinary
clinics (see photos above). On returning to the UK, Meghan wrote:
“At the moment there
are no recognised veterinary nurses in India and we went over there to show
them the amazing work we can do! Veterinary nurses are often the veterinary
surgeon's right hand, we are friends to our clients and guardian angels to our
patients. Although working in India proved to be a huge emotional
roller-coaster, luckily the highs were just as intense as the lows. And our
hopes came true earlier this week when it was announced that Kerala University
have decided they definitely would like to introduce a veterinary nursing
program and want to educate and train the very first veterinary nurses in
India! So here’s to the future development of Indian Veterinary nurses and the
long term improvement of animal care and welfare India wide!”
Meghan, a 26 year old veterinary nursing student, was
tragically killed in a car accident last December as she drove to work, the day
after her final veterinary nursing examination at Edinburgh Napier University. Meghan was the beloved daughter of Kevin and Lauren, loving
sister of Jared and Ethan and dearly loved fiancée of Scot.
