Dr Amy Lam graduated from the University of Sydney with first class honours, then worked for at several hospitals including her father’s, Dr John Aspley Davis. The drive to become a specialist lead to an internship at the University of Sydney, and a GradCertVetStud with research in feline hyperthyroidism.
Amy joined the team at SASH when it started, as a Small Animal Medicine Resident. She published papers on Pituitary Apoplexy, Canine Systemic Mycobacteriosis, and Feline Laryngeal Disease, and won awards from the Australian Small Animal Veterinary Association. In 2011, Amy and her husband (Dr Richard Lam) relocated to the UK to further their knowledge. Amy worked at a world leading veterinary specialist hospital, was a consultant for a veterinary pathology company, performed research and attended clinics at the Royal Veterinary College. She became a Fellow of the Australian New Zealand College of Veterinary Scientists and is a registered Specialist in Small Animal Medicine. She and Richard (one of our incredible radiologists) moved back to Australia to work at SASH in 2016.
Amy thrives on working in a multidisciplinary hospital and loves the way that the SASH team work together to provide the best outcomes for patients under their care. Working at SASH North Ryde, Amy enjoys the challenge of the complexity of internal medicine cases. She particularly enjoys endocrinology – and has been leading the SASH Pituitary Centre – the only one of its kind in the world. In addition – Amy loves to look after patients with all internal medical concerns and putting all the clues together of tough cases – to work out what we can do to help patients in our care.
Amy is a pet parent with Kip – her rescue Kelpie X, and Kota & Aki – her Tonkinese.
