LVS appoints head of cardiology
He became an examiner for the ECVIM-CA Cardiology Specialty in 2015 and took on the role of committee chair in 2020
London Vet Specialists (LVS) has announced the appointment of Joao Loureiro as its head of cardiology.
He previously worked as a cardiology specialist at the Linnaeus-owned North Downs Specialist Referrals in Bletchingley, Surrey.
Loureiro graduated from the University of Oporto in Portugal in 2001 and his interest in cardiology prompted a move to the UK in 2003.
He gained his ECVIM-CA (cardiology) specialist status in 2009 and became a recognised RCVS specialist in 2010.
He became an examiner for the ECVIM-CA Cardiology Specialty in 2015 and took on the role of committee chair in 2020.
He said: “LVS is at a particularly exciting time with the opening of the new state-of-the-art hospital in Hammersmith this year. I’m looking forward to participating in this project and offering my experience and expertise to help shape it into one of the best hospitals in the country.
“As head of cardiology, my primary responsibilities involve the delivery of clinical excellence to patients with cardiac conditions, alongside planning and affecting the development of the cardiology department. My key ambitions are to continue delivering the best care to pets with cardiac conditions and make this even more accessible for pets in central London.”
