Sam qualified from Harper Adams University in 2013, and spent several years in general practice before working as a ward nurse at the Animal Health Trust in Newmarket which grew her passion for neurology, rehabilitation and emergency and critical care. Following the closure of the AHT in 2020, she joined the QVSH as a ward nurse, and has since become the neurology specialist nurse.
