I joined Medivet Shrewsbury practice straight after graduating in 2013. I’d never lived in Shrewsbury before but having moved here it has very quickly felt like home. I have been Branch Partner since July 2017 and it has flown by. I have completed my Certificate in Advanced Veterinary Practice and I’ve just enrolled on a further certificate in surgery. I have three dogs – a border terrier and two cocker spaniels – a cat, and have recently started keeping some marine fish. In my spare time, I enjoy weightlifting.

I have been working at Medivet Shrewsbury for three years and thoroughly enjoy the hustle and bustle of hospital life. After qualifying in 2015, I eventually returned to my hometown of Shrewsbury and started here at Medivet. I have many pets including three dogs, two cats, two rabbits and a horse named Toffee. I have also recently started keeping marine fish. I love being outside walking the dogs or riding my horse. I’m always keen to further my skills so I aim to enrol onto the Advance Veterinary Nursing course this year.

I began working in a Telford-based practice in 1999, before moving to Staffordshire to start my Senior Veterinary Nurse training. I qualified as a Registered Veterinary Nurse in 2003 at a veterinary hospital. I started working at Medivet Shrewsbury in 2011 as Head Nurse, and now since having my children, I work part-time as the Senior Clinical Nurse. My interests are all things surgical. I enjoy theatre work and emergency cases especially, but I love all aspects of my job. I am currently studying towards a Nurse Certificate in Anaesthesia, which I'm loving. I have a lovely dog called Flo.

I started working at Medivet Shrewsbury as a Veterinary Care Assistant in June 2015 and I’ve recently passed my OSCEs and become a Qualified Veterinary Nurse. I previously lived in Australia for a couple of years working as a Veterinary Receptionist, which sparked my keen interest to become a Veterinary Nurse. I have two cats called Tallow and Roo and two dogs called Fox and Panda. Outside work, I enjoy playing sports, such as netball and rounders, and running with my dog Fox. I'm also a professional silversmith, hand-making silver jewellery including custom memorial pieces.

Before coming to Medivet Shrewsbury I studied human nursing, working for the NHS for eight years before I moved into the veterinary industry. I’ve been at Shrewsbury for over three years. I enjoy every part of my job, particularly exotic nursing and emergency and critical care. At home I have two dogs, three cats, three rabbits, three ferrets, an African pygmy hedgehog, sugar gliders and reptiles. Outside work, I like to educate people on keeping exotic animals and I often go to reptile and exotic shows. I also enjoy playing netball, socialising and going on adventures with my dogs.

I've been working for Medivet since October 2017 and I’ve been permanent at Shrewsbury since February 2019. I previously worked in wildlife rescue and rehabilitation, so I have a keen interest in wildlife and exotics and feel privileged to be able to practice the skills and knowledge that I’ve acquired. Although I don't have any animals of my own, my landlady is a 'home-from-home' dog boarder, so there are at least four or five dogs at home each night to keep me busy. I’m due to start my Veterinary Nursing Diploma at Bottle Green this September and I can’t wait to get going.

I have worked at the hospital for six years after moving here from Merseyside, where I worked in retail management.

Very professional and caring vet, unfortunately our little cat couldn’t go on any longer at 18 years of age we had to make the hard decision to say good bye. Simon was very understanding and couldn’t have been any kinder to not only our little cat but to us as well. Would highly recommend.

I’m registered with yourself for my adopted fur-child Vinnie (DSH old boy) and we’ve had nothing but good experiences regarding his care. However, my focus is lying with my girl Fudge, 10yr old collie, who very quickly deteriorated and unfortunately was put to sleep earlier this week. This experience for my family and I was incredibly traumatic due to it happening so spontaneously and it’s nature.. the amazing team at Medivets swiftly took her inside and registered her within minutes and kept us up to date with every detail, even those we didn’t want to hear. It’s hit us all very hard, and we’ve managed to get life back to some kind of normal and I’ve just got home to a lovely memory card and such kind, comforting words from “Alan” - who I believe to have been the vet who saw to our girl and the rest of the team. I cannot thank you enough, although it had me blubbering away again. Such a really thoughtful gesture which has impacted incredibly. Medivets don’t change what you’re doing. An amazing team of caring individuals who clearly enjoy working with animals and supporting their owners. Thank you again for everything.

Lovely vets - our rescue cat has turned out to have a few health issues and the vets have been really lovely, helpful and supportive. We've called for some advice and they have been really calm and understanding, explain things really well and cautious about putting the animal through stressful procedures that may not be needed. We had to rush our cat in on a Sunday morning and were put through to the Shrewsbury branch straight away, they saw us within 30 minutes and had all of our cats previous records to hand - I was really impressed. Even though we weren't allowed in with him due to COVID the vet talked to us over the phone and I felt really reassured he was in good hands.
