REASONS FOR WORKING AT THE SPCA (HK)
I have always wanted to work in a charity animal hospital, and have previously volunteered at animal shelters across the UK and Hong Kong. I am delighted to join the amazing team at the SPCA (HK). I greatly admire their commitment to integrating Western veterinary practices with Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine (including acupuncture), which I firmly believe will deliver enhanced care and long-term benefits for our animal patients.
