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.

We took our rabbit fearing the worst but was soon put at ease. The vet was so good with him explained everything he was doing. He was a lovely vet and knew we were very concerned like all pet owners are. If we had an emergency in the future ( hope not ) we would use this animal hospital. I would just like to add the antibiotics the vet told us to give our rabbit in the next five days have got him back to his normal self. Thank you again.

My little kitten (Pumpkin) was taken in as he was being sick and very dehydrated. The vets took bloods, xrays and also put him on a drip to get him rehydrated They really did look after him and I am so very grateful to them all. After 3 days he is now back home eating, drinking, playing and having lots of cuddles. He’s back to his normal self Thank you

Cannot thank or recommend these wonderful guys more highly enough!! We’ve been through the mill with our 7 month old Weimaraner pretty much from the day we brought him home...Team Medivet have been with us all the way 💪🏻 Gastro probs have been diagnosed promptly and treated accordingly and fingers crossed we’re at the end of those now 🤞🏻🙏🏻🤞🏻 On Wednesday poor boy fell ill out of nowhere and deteriorated very quickly over a couple of hours, displaying no symptoms we had seen before...Medivet saw him immediately and following blood tests quickly diagnosed an infection for which he spent two nights in hospital 🥺 I cannot praise the treatment he received more highly...we were kept up to date regularly, the treatment plan was outlined thoroughly and we now have our precious boy back at home with the comfort that should we need them they are there always! We could not have chose a better practice and we are forever grateful for the genuine love, care and wonderful treatment you guys provide 🥰

Great care, lovely staff. We lost our fur baby and received a beautiful card from the team with her paw print on. We thought it was a lovely thing to do and it was very emotional. Our new adopted fur baby attends now and we are so pleased with his care.
