I qualified as a vet in 1994 and after 3 years in mixed practice, I joined Stanhope Park Veterinary Hospital. In 1999 I joined Andrew Geldard in partnership, until his retirement in 2008. I now run the practice with the help of my extensive team. I am interested in pain management and offer acupuncture as an alternative or adjunctive to conventional pain management. I am a keen surgeon with extensive experience in most orthopaedic and other surgeries. Following the opening of our new Cats and Exotics Clinic, I now split my time between Stanhope Road and Duke Street. I am the veterinary Rabbit Advocate and enjoy working with our exotic patients. My other major passion is animal welfare. For many years now I have had an active role as a veterinary surgeon working closely with RSPCA inspectors in animal cruelty and welfare cases.

I qualified in 2018 from Edinburgh and have been working in Teesside ever since. My primary interests are exotic pets and wildlife, particularly reptiles, fish, and marine mammals - I’m currently working on my aquatic medicine certificate (CertAqV.) At home I have a mischief of rats, a corn snake, a bull snake, a Leachie gecko, two giant African land snails, and a veiled chameleon. Outside of work I enjoy dance, sewing, gardening, and being outdoors.

I joined the practice in December 2001 after completing my work placement here whilst studying for a National Diploma in Animal Care at Houghall College. I have since completed my Veterinary Nurse Training at Myerscough College, becoming qualified in March 2010. I have always been keen to continue learning about this ever evolving profession, and have realised my passion for all things cat! In 2017, I completed the ISFM Diploma in Feline Nursing, and hold a special interest in feline behaviour and the role of stress prevention and management. I have since continued to build on my feline-specific nursing knowledge and I hope to embark on a feline behaviour qualification in the near future. My other special interests include medical nursing and the role of nutrition in medical conditions. I have worked exclusively at our Cats and Exotics Clinic on Duke Street since opening in 2016, where I have been assigned as the “Cat Advocate” for the practice – this means I am responsible for ensuring that staff are correctly trained in “cat-friendly” principles, and that “cat-friendly” practice protocols are put in place and followed. At home I have a beautiful, semi-long haired moggie called Magpie, who has taught me so much about this intriguing species!

I recently rejoined the Stanhope Park family in September 2022 after spending almost two years living abroad. You might recognise me however, as prior to moving abroad, I was a member of the team for over 12 years! I qualified as an RVN in 2012 and have never looked back. I love to develop my knowledge in all areas and species, and I am passionate about reducing patient stress in the clinical environment. At home I have two children and two fur children. Lou-Lou, a ginger and white cat, rehomed from Stanhope as an abandoned kitten, and a dog named Rex (by the children!), who was a stray we rehomed and flew from abroad.

I qualified as a Veterinary Nurse in 2004 from Houghall College in Durham, but I have been nursing since 1999. I joined Stanhope Park Veterinary Hospital in April 2011. I like all aspects of nursing but have a special interest in surgical nursing and enjoy caring for the inpatients. When I’m not at work my little girl and boy keep me busy. We are looking forward to getting them lots of pets when they are older.

Fantastic vet practice with highly attentive and caring staff. Parking is problematic thanks to Darlington Councils terrible street planning which sadly makes access by car difficult.

Took my horsfield tortoise 'Taco' in with a suspected respiratory infection. Yazmine was wonderful, gave me loads of really good advice and was very patient with my never ending questions! She was kind and warm to both me and Taco . The waiting area was calm and quiet and Taco was given a towel that had a calming spray to help him de-stress. 100% recommend this place and will be popping back for regular checkups and advice. Thankyou 😊
