About Nick
Nick Lloyd is a veterinary surgeon and Lupa's Chief Veterinary Officer. His job is to make sure what Lupa builds reflects how practices actually work; the clinical realities, the admin pressure, and the decisions that determine whether a day runs smoothly or doesn't.
He qualified from the University of Bristol and spent 16 years in practice in Devon, including as owner of Kingsteignton Veterinary Group. When he left clinical work in 2018 he moved into veterinary IT, working inside IVC Evidensia's technology team before building his own consultancy.
Nick served as President of the Society of Practising Veterinary Surgeons (SPVS) in 2021 to 2022, chaired the Vet XML Consortium, and has contributed to the RCVS Workforce Summit and the BVA's Vet Record. He co-presented the SPVS CMA Veterinary Remedies podcast with Pete Orpin on the regulatory changes most likely to affect independent practices, and has spoken about veterinary technology and practice management on the Veterinary Innovation Podcast.
That background shapes what he writes about: not what software can theoretically do, but what it takes for a practice to change systems, embed new tools, and actually see the benefit.
