A VET who had to quit after suffering a spinal injury in a road accident has started a new career in law.
Madeleine Forsyth will be one of a handful of vets able to provide a service to the legal profession and the public on animal issues.
She has returned to her home village of Ampleforth, North Yorkshire, to set up VetLaw Ltd, after working at veterinary practices in Thirsk and Helmsley.
Eighteen months ago, she was in a road accident at Sutton Bank, North Yorkshire,which left her unable to carry out surgery.
Now she and her barrister partner Stephen Lomas, have set up at The Old Post Office.
She is doing a Bar vocational course at Newcastle University and when she qualifies, will be one of only 11 veterinary surgeons in the country who are also qualified as barristers.
