Sophie Byrne

Head Veterinary Nurse

I joined the Medivet family in October 2011 and started my career in Veterinary Nursing. Whilst working full time I attended Solihull College and qualified as a Registered Veterinary Nurse in 2014. I have a special interest in intensive and critical care, nurse clinics to include the running of puppy party courses and assisting in theatre.

The highlight of my career so far is working on Rhino in South Africa, which was incredible! At home I have two cats called Jasper and Cleo and in my spare time I am a keen horse rider who also enjoys spending quality time with family and friends.

I have a Forensic Science Degree which I gained in June 2006 from Stoke-On-Trent University.

I have a keen interest in behaviour and training and enjoy the clinical side of veterinary nursing.

At home I have a cat called Jessie, 2 dogs called Renee and Huey and I also have 2 horses called Maddie and Lily. When I'm not at work I enjoy spending time outdoors with my animals, going horse riding and spending time with friends and family.

Jodie Steel

Mobile Patient Care Assistant

I qualified with a 1st class honours in Animal Management, Behaviour & Welfare in 2017 through the University of Hull for my first two years, and then my last year of the degree through the University of Chester.

I spent three years working at Cuan Wildlife Rescue & Rehabilitation centre whilst also completing my degree. Before that, I was a manager at Starbucks for 6 years, so if you need a strong coffee then I'm your girl!

I really enjoy intensive patient care, monitoring anaesthetics and I am keen to learn more in regards to nutrition for cats and dogs, as well as monitoring exotics under anaesthetic. I am very experienced with wildlife patients so I also enjoy educating and assisting my fellow staff members on all aspects of wildlife care.

Unfortunately, I do not have any pets at home, so I just steal everybody else's animals!

I love being around nature, so enjoy a good adventure to a nature reserve. Additionally, I am also avidly into birdwatching, dancing, singing, general fitness, reading, going to the cinema and also attending live music concerts.

David Shorter

Mobile Patient Care Assistant

I qualified from Walford and North Shropshire college in 2017 with Triple D*D*D* Extended Diploma in Animal Management. Before joining the Medivet team, I worked full time in a popular fast food restaurant, whilst gaining experience in veterinary nursing in local practices to further my knowledge.

I completed a two-week placement at one of the Medivet branches - after learning from exceptional nurses and PCA's I was determined to become a part of the Medivet team.

I enjoy learning about animal recovery and rehabilitation, physiotherapy and hydrotherapy. I also love to assist in theatre by monitoring patients under anaesthetic and during their recovery; it gives me great job satisfaction and grows my passion and love for animals.

At home, I have two pets, Honey the Border Collie and Fidget, the bearded dragon. Besides work I enjoy going to the gym, socialising with friends, and playing a variety of sports.
