We’re pleased to welcome Melissa Rose, who has recently joined the hospital team as an intern.
Originally from Kendal in Cumbria, Melissa graduated from the University of Liverpool in 2026, where she developed a keen interest in sports horse medicine, orthopaedics and surgery.
During her studies, Melissa gained valuable hands-on experience through externships at equine hospitals across the UK and Europe, where she developed her skills in inpatient care and equine anaesthesia.
Before joining Rossdales, Melissa worked in equine practice, focusing on stud farm medicine. This gave her the opportunity to build her knowledge and experience in equine reproduction, including caring for newborn foals.
Outside of work, Melissa enjoys riding out on racehorses whenever she gets the chance. She also loves cooking, skiing and exploring the fells on foot.
