Nicola Chalmers profile

Nicola is a qualified radiation safety advisor, but first and foremost is a veterinarian with over a decade of clinical experience. Nicola combines her clinical insight with regulatory expertise to deliver practical, effective support for veterinary teams. She is dedicated to helping clinics optimize imaging use while ensuring the highest standards of radiation protection for staff, patients, and the public.

Her growing interest in imaging led her to specialize in radiation safety, where she gained extensive experience as a Radiation Safety Officer, overseeing radiology protocols across multiple clinical sites. In 2024, she became certified by the Australasian Radiation Protection Accreditation Board as a Radiation Safety Advisor (CRSA).
