“Veterinary Orthopedic Guardian”: European Veterinary Surgeon Dr. Hannah Partners With VEC Hong Kong
Bringing Extensive European Experience to Lead Advanced Orthopaedic Surgeries and Elevate Pet Surgical Care
HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 16 October 2025 – Veterinary Emergency Centre, Hong Kong (VEC) today announces the enhancement of its advanced orthopaedic services to further meet the local demand for advanced surgical care for pets. The centre’s orthopaedic surgeries will be led by Dr. Hannah Holmes, a senior veterinarian with over 20 years of international experience. Combining her expertise with VEC’s advanced diagnostic equipment and 24-hour critical care team, the service is dedicated to providing more precise and comprehensive treatment plans for pets suffering from bone and joint issues, helping them overcome pain and regain their vitality.
As a leading veterinary institution in Hong Kong, VEC has long provided 24-hour emergency, critical care, surgical, general practice, and hospitalization services. The centre is equipped with state-of-the-art medical facilities, including operating theatres, an Intensive Care Unit (ICU), a CT scanner, X-ray, and various ultrasound capabilities, ensuring the most accurate diagnoses in critical situations. Its 24-hour emergency service operates with a professional triage system to ensure that urgent cases, such as accidental fractures, are treated immediately to secure the golden hour of treatment. This round-the-clock critical care and monitoring capability provides the safest and most solid foundation for performing complex orthopaedic surgeries.
Advanced Equipment and Inter-Team Collaboration Enhance Surgical Outcomes
VEC’s orthopaedic service is built on a foundation of advanced medical technology and close team collaboration. The centre utilizes the internationally recognized Securos™ orthopaedic supplies, providing a wide range of high-quality plating systems, pins, and external fixation options for various fracture repairs and joint stabilization procedures. Before surgery, the veterinary team can use the on-site CT scanner to obtain detailed three-dimensional images, providing crucial information for creating precise surgical plans.
VEC performs well over a hundred orthopaedic and soft tissue surgeries each year, with common cases including fracture repairs and patellar luxation corrections in small-breed dogs. Dr. Hannah notes, “At VEC, orthopaedic patients benefit from the support of our ICU and hospital team. The team stabilizes critical animals before their procedures and provides intensive post-operative monitoring and care, ensuring that even our most complex cases are managed safely throughout the entire process.”
“One of the memorable cases I worked on was a young cat, Tun Tun, who arrived at our ER in critical condition after a high-rise fall, suffering from internal bleeding and multiple fractures. Thanks to the intensive care from our ICU team, against all odds, Tun Tun was stabilized and successfully underwent fracture repair surgery. The seamless collaboration of the VEC team was key to his remarkable recovery, transforming him back into a playful, mischievous cat,” shares Dr. Hannah.VEC also has a house call team that can follow up on a patient’s recovery in the comfort of their own home.
Internationally Experienced Veterinarian Joins, Infusing Professionalism and Compassion
Dr. Hannah Holmes’ arrival brings even greater professional strength to VEC’s orthopaedic services. Growing up in Scotland, Dr. Hannah graduated from the world-renowned Royal (Dick) School of Veterinary Studies in Edinburgh in 2004. Her career has taken her across the UK and Australia, .and she has also volunteered in countries with limited veterinary resources—including trips to the Cook Islands, Botswana, and Indonesia—to contribute to animal welfare, accumulating extensive experience in handling a wide variety of complex cases.
“I was drawn to the challenge of repairing what was broken and restoring function in surgery, but what truly inspires me is the transformation I see in my patients — from arriving in pain and distress to walking, running, and showing joy again after surgery,” says Dr. Hannah. She has chosen to remain a general practitioner with a surgical bias rather than a specialist, allowing her to not only perform the surgeries she loves but also to provide continuous care for her patients, building trust and relationships with pet owners. Outside of work, she is a passionate ice and rock climber. She believes the focus, precision, and problem-solving under pressure required for climbing mirror the demands of surgery, which deepens her appreciation for mobility and strength—the very things she strives to restore for her patients.
Addressing common misconceptions among pet owners, Dr. Hannah advises, “Limping is almost always a sign of pain. Animals are very good at hiding it, and even a minor limp can reflect an underlying problem that should be checked. Similarly, stiffness in older pets is not just an accepted sign of ageing. Through supplements, medication, and sometimes surgery, there is a lot we can do to significantly improve their quality of life.”
Dr. Hannah also addresses a common myth regarding brachycephalic (short-nosed) breeds like Pugs and French Bulldogs. ‘Many owners believe their dog’s noisy breathing is ‘normal for the breed.’ In fact, this noise is a sign of restricted airflow and can have serious long-term consequences. Surgery can make a huge difference—improving breathing, exercise tolerance, and overall quality of life.

AECOM supports CEDD and AFCD of HKSAR Government in launching Hong Kong’s first comprehensive nature-based solutions guidelines to advance sustainable urban development
Developed through multidisciplinary expertise in ecology, landscape architecture, engineering, climate resilience and urban planning, the HKNbSDG provides a practical blueprint for designing, implementing, sustainably managing, and evaluating NbS across diverse environmental contexts — from rivers and wetlands to coastlines and high-density urban districts.
Factoring in the characteristics of Hong Kong’s natural ecology and urban development, the HKNbSDG is built on three core principles that outline a holistic approach to promoting ecosystem diversity at multiple scales, embracing human-nature coexistence for mutual benefits, and improving resilience through NbS. It also includes a performance evaluation framework to support evidence-based decision-making and features local case studies, including Long Valley Nature Park and Tung Chung East Eco-shoreline.
“The HKNbSDG reflects our commitment to advancing nature‑positive design and supporting Hong Kong’s journey toward climate resilience and sustainable growth,” said Dr. Johnny Cheuk, senior vice president and Hong Kong executive leader at AECOM. “By integrating ecological science into design practice, we aim to empower practitioners to harness nature’s potential in building climate-resilient infrastructure.”
The HKNbSDG was officially launched at the Promulgation Ceremony held on March 3, 2026, at Long Valley Nature Park. The event was officiated by Miss. Diane Wong Shuk-han, JP, Under Secretary for Environment and Ecology; Mr. David Lam Chi-man, JP, Under Secretary for Development; Mr. Charles Karangwa, Global Head of Nature-based Solutions Centre of the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN); Ir Michael Fong Hok-shing, JP, Director of Civil Engineering and Development; and Mr. Mickey Lai Kin-ming, JP, Director of Agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation.
The ceremony featured an introduction to the HKNbSDG by Stephen Suen, director of landscape architecture at AECOM, followed by a panel discussion on building cross-sector partnerships to reverse nature and biodiversity loss through NbS.
Panelists included:
- Mr. Charles Karangwa, Global Head, Nature-based Solutions Centre, IUCN
- Ir. Michael Fong Hok‑shing, JP, Director of Civil Engineering and Development
- Mr. Mickey Lai Kin Ming, JP, Director of Agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation
- Ms. Frances Chen, Director, Sustainability & Climate Change, North Asia, HSBC
- Mr. Benny Au, Senior Manager, Sustainable Development, Swire Properties Limited
The release of the HKNbSDG supports Hong Kong’s key policy commitments, including the Climate Action Plan 2050 and its biodiversity conservation targets, by providing a practical roadmap for enhancing urban resilience and expanding green infrastructure. This publication equips practitioners with essential tools — from integrating ecology into early planning to designing for multifunctional benefits — grounded in Hong Kong-specific experience. It also serves as a central resource for advancing the Northern Metropolis development strategy, where NbS is helping to drive urban-rural integration and foster the co-existence of urban development and ecological conservation.
The HKNbSDG forms part of AECOM’s broader mission to help cities adapt to climate risks while enhancing quality of life. By bringing together global best practices and local ecological insights, AECOM aims to strengthen industry-wide capability in implementing NbS at scale.
