Rachel Hinks

Veterinary Surgeon

I graduated in 2015 from the University of Bristol and went into practice in a first opinion small animal hospital in Wales, doing both out-of-hours work and daytime hours. This was a great experience in a very busy practice.

In 2017 I relocated to the South West for a new challenge in a small animal practice where I stayed for a few years before moving on.

I joined Newton Clarke in 2024 from a neighbouring practice and am enjoying working within a larger team with a high standard of care. I enjoy all aspects of my job, especially soft tissue surgery and pain management. I am also qualified in acupuncture. I have recently completed my General Practitioner Certificate in Small Animal Surgery.

Outside of work, I have a young daughter who keeps me busy and a rescue dog, Bella.  I enjoy exploring and visiting new places. In my spare time, I also love baking different cakes and sweet treats.
