Bara qualified as a veterinarian from the [[Royal Veterinary College, London, UK|Royal Veterinary College (RVC)]] after having worked as a veterinary nurse previously. During her university years, she also completed Animal Behaviour and Welfare BSc at the [[UK - Bristol Veterinary School, Bristol|University of Bristol]]. Her interests and studies include information technology so being involved with WikiVet was an ideal way of combining the two worlds. Having started as an author for WikiVet at its inception, her role has evolved into overseeing the content and managing projects (e.g [[Feline Behaviour]], [[Small Animal Dentistry]], [[Nutrients]], [[Pet Food]], [[OVAM]], [[OVAL]]). However, due to a major change in lifestyle, Bara is currently not involved with WikiVet.

About me

I have lived in England for a very long time but am originally from the Czech Republic. I started at the RVC websiteat 2002, intercalated at University of Bristol in 2004/2005 . Due to an injury I had to take another year out but I finally graduated in 2009.

My passion are animals of all kind, especially my numerous pets, including horses. I like them to be my friends and partners, rather than just tools for fun. I have a soft spot for birds and often look after wildlife casualties. I also enjoy the countryside, playing guitar, fencing and have a now resting motorbike.

Sections I've been working on


Below are various statements under standard sections we all put up at the start of the project in summer 2007.

What I hope to get out of this project

Keeping my hand in the veterinary field.

My best learning experience

Natural horsemanship and anything hands on

Pathology that interests me

  • Bone and cartilage
  • Exotics, especially birds, in general

Pathology that is difficult

anything that is too much at once, a bit by bit can be managed

Day one thoughts

What (three things) I learnt today

  • How to use WikiVet to a hopefully sufficient level
  • Who to contact for resources when stuck
  • Try to provide for different types of learners

What I still need to learn

How to combine the resources available to a useful outcome - working progress Issues about copyright

How I feel about what has happened today

I have a starting point and know roughly where we are trying to get


Three weeks into the wikivet project (or thereabouts)

What I feel I've gained so far from being involved in the project

  • Spending time on a particular topic and trying to write it down in a logical manner with links to other existing topics is a good way to let things stick in your brain a bit better!
  • Valuable time (for both me and hopefully others) while temporarily unable to continue with my veterinary studies.
  • Better understanding of some pathology terms, I don't like writing down what I don't understand (not such a big issue with just reading it).

Problems or issues that I've had or can forsee

  • Trying to standardise pages and topics as information given to us (incl. books) is very varied, may be someone needs to go over that at the end of bulk writing?
  • It is difficult to judge how much is for undergraduate and what is a post graduate level.
  • Copyrights over images again.
  • What about 'special species' - incorporate them in, separate section or leave out?

My suggestions for improving the way the project works for the future

  • I feel the bulk of the text should go on first, then start adding stories, links, pictures, flash cards, concept maps etc. I think it would be easier to handle that way.
  • Keeping a system within a particular school at first (for bulk writing) and let all the schools contribute to the extras.
  • If we really want standardisation, it may have to be one or two people going over it all at the end.

What involvement (if any!) I would like to have with the project in the future

  • I would like to have as much involvement as possible until March 2008.
  • From March 2008 the time I could commit would be a little patchy but I would like to keep involved, may be adding the 'extras'?
