OUR STORY

Khula — a Zulu word meaning to grow and thrive

Khula Vet was founded by Dr Charlotte Philip and Dr Michelle Markram, by veterinarians who understand the realities of clinical practice. Built on the belief that education empowers people, Khula exists to support veterinary teams at every stage of their professional journey.

WHY KHULA EXISTS

Veterinary science is demanding, but it is also deeply rewarding. Increasing pressures, emotional strain, and limited access to mentorship, particularly in the early years, have highlighted the need for more practical and supportive training within the profession.

Khula Vet was created to help bridge this gap by offering guidance, education, and support where it is needed most.

WHAT WE DO

Khula Vet delivers bespoke, practice-relevant training that reflects the realities of everyday veterinary work. What began as training for veterinarians has grown to include veterinary nurses, animal health technicians, kennel staff, and reception teams.

Our courses are designed to support both individuals and practices, with the aim of building confident, capable, and well-rounded veterinary teams.

“When veterinary teams are supported, they don’t just cope
— they grow and thrive.”
