Špela Oberstar – Pharmacist

Špela joined the Dick Vet team in 2017. When choosing her studies, she had a hard time deciding between veterinary medicine and pharmacy and therefore enjoys this position, which combines both of her great interests. As a clinically oriented pharmacist, she particularly enjoys finding solutions to issues with medicine modification, teaching veterinary students and optimising hospital medication management.

Špela is also a part-time hospital pharmacist specialising in care of older people. She loves spending time in nature with her Jack Russell Terrier Freddie.
