Introducing the Vetpol team
Caroline Johnson, Director
Animal-mad Caroline also loves people. With a background in veterinary pharmaceuticals she is well equipped to train SQPs and give support to students: people development is her thing.
Being a Director of Vetpol brings together all the skills and experience she’s acquired during a long and varied career.
Dr Jeremy Johnson, Director
A love of cattle, working as a vet, then a career in the pharmaceutical industry led Jeremy to Vetpol. He has a life-long interest in veterinary medicines. Jeremy also loves challenges, so has enjoyed harnessing modern technology to deliver novel approaches to SQP training and development.

With a successful and varied career in customer service, including managing a busy vet practice, Debs gives the best student support ever! It is largely down to her efforts that students give Vetpol SQP courses a 94.1% satisfaction rating (June 2023)!
Lisa Giddings, Professional Development Lead
Having helped establish our successful Munch & Learn CPD events, we were delighted when Lisa accepted the role of Professional Development Lead at Vetpol! With her organisational skills, extensive contacts and passion for CPD we could not have found a better person to also build SQP Congress. Lisa owns alpacas, guinea pigs, dogs and her interest in sustainable small-holding has led her to develop an exciting project in Nature Nature Farm.
