Jorge Santos

Veterinary Surgeon

I graduated in Porto, Portugal in 2016 and started my professional life in United Kingdom as soon as I finished my externship in Cambridge. I am a positive happy person always ready to help our 4 legged friends the best I can. My passion is Soft Tissue and Orthopaedics surgery on which I plan to be a specialist in the future.

I was born in a little town in Portugal called "Fiais da Telha" where my parents have a farm with plenty of animals. Maria and Sam are my buddy's, Maria (dog) is beautiful crossbreed lady that talks and Sam (cat) is a hyperactive kid that as energy of 4 cats. Personally my favourite hobby is too share every moment of my life with my partner and enjoy life as much as I can through travelling, hiking, surf and riding motorcycle.

Donna Gibson

Head Veterinary Nurse

I completed a BA hons degree in International Accounting which I qualified in 2012 at the University of Northampton. I then qualified as an RVN in August 2016, after gaining my Diploma in Veterinary Nursing at The College of Animal Welfare.

Before joining Medivet I spent 12 years in the RAF, then 7 years working in finance in the higher education sector. In 2014 I changed my career to train as a Veterinary Nurse.

My areas of speciality are senior clinics, dental hygiene and parasite control. I would also like to specialise further in rehabilitation, as I have previous experience in laser therapy. I am also currently studying for an Advanced Diploma in Behaviour Therapy.

At home I have two rescue cats called Charlie and Chester, a rescue tortoise called Boris who is 39 years old, and in November 2017 I will be bringing home my chocolate lab pup called Rosie.

Outside work I enjoy reading, running (at tortoise speed), listening to music and volunteering at my local animal sanctuary.

I also recently qualified as a PADI Open Water Diver and like to dive in warmer climates.

I am a qualified Marine Mammal Medic and volunteer for the British Divers Marine Life Rescue.

I am very happy to join the Medivet team and look forward to meeting all the clients and their pets as their Head Nurse.

Rhiannon Murphy

Rhiannon Murphy

Patient Care Assistant

I have a qualification in L3 Animal Management, I studied this and got my qualification in 2013.

Once I had my qualification in Animal Management I went on to work at Tesco’s until I passed my driving test, I then went to work at a dog rescue and boarding kennels which I loved.

I enjoy everything animal behaviour related, especially canine behaviour. I also enjoy emergency and critical care, which is something I hope to go into full time once qualifying as an RVN.

I have one dog called Kaiser. He is a Staffordshire bull terrier who is extremely soppy! I also have a cat called Sooty who is a black domestic short hair. He lives with my mum as he is an older gentleman now and my dog is a big bouncy ball of energy!

I love long walks and hikes with my dog and doing agility with him. I also like volunteering for my local dog rescue centre, which I so every Sunday. I also like going to the gym and seeing my friends and family.
