Kate Bruce | Lead Radiation Veterinarian
Brisbane Veterinary Specialist Centre
Dr Kathryn (Kate) Bruce BVSc (Hons) MANZCVS (SAM) graduated from the University of Queensland in 2015, and worked in a busy GP and emergency clinic for several years before transitioning to the role of Hospital Veterinarian at the Brisbane Veterinary Specialist Centre. Kate completed her memberships in Small Animal Internal Medicine in 2022, and during her time working in the specialty setting, developed a love for veterinary oncology. She began working with the Radiation Oncology team and has gradually transitioned to a full time role as the lead clinical veterinarian, overseeing the treatment of all patients on the TrueBeam Linear Accelerator. Radiation Oncology is a rapidly evolving space in both the human and veterinary worlds, with significant technological advancements in the last few years dramatically widening the scope and success of cancer treatments. Kate enjoys being at the forefront of medical developments, engaging in research, and the relationships she fosters between her clients and her patients during the course of their cancer journey.
