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.

Head Veterinary Nurse

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.

Veterinary Nurse

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 have worked at the hospital for six years after moving here from Merseyside, where I worked in retail management. Moving to the countryside and changing career has been the best decision for me and my family, including my cat Peggy and my terrier Fizz, who loves to come walking with me to explore the area. Outside work, I love to travel and experience different cultures.

Your Senior Physio Emma has been absolutely fantastic. She is so knowledgeable, caring and makes Hachi feel comfortable when coming for every session on the hydro treadmill. Hachi is so relaxed when coming to the practice bearing in mind she is not a fan of attending veterinary practices. Your reception staff also deserve a mention as they too are very attentive with Hachi and give her attention which, again, puts her at ease Thank you all, keep doing what you're doing, you've got it right!

Not even a 1 star review. Avoid practice at all cost. Mistreated our pet and ensured they charged us just over our insurance cover. Admitted fault yet no amendment to policy or compensation for the extra risk, cost of care and emotional turmoil they caused.

Can not fault this veterinarian surgery at all. 08/05/2023 our cat was unfortunately involved in an accident, I will say they tried their hardest to keep him with us but there was not much more they could do due to how severe his injuries were. They made him comfortable so that I could say goodbye to him. I was told that I could pay at a later date for the costs which didn’t include the emergency costs which I was actually expecting to pay. So I thank them for being compassionate towards myself. I actually had to visit twice last year as our other cat passed unexpectedly and suddenly on the 12/12/2023 which even shocked the vets as they had seen her the day before for her to have her claws trimmed, She had been given a quick check up whilst there and passed with flying colours and was due to go in for a follow up exam the following week, Walking into the vets with her the next day and the ladies in the front desk absolutely heartbroken for us all made me feel a little better. I apologise that my review is so long but I honestly can not fault the staff at Medivet what so ever, They’ve gone above and beyond both times with our beloved cats. Thank you
