Her primary clinical interest is in Camelid practice, improving the health and welfare of the growing UK camelid population, but also improving veterinary comfort with delivering care to camelids. As well as driving clinical research into the species, and creating the most comprehensively referenced Camelid Formulary, Ami engages with various platforms to deliver relatable CPD to empower vets to utilise their transferrable skills to cater to camelid patients.
