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.

Before joining Medivet, I was a support worker for adults with learning disabilities, mental health conditions and brain injuries. I studied health and social care whilst waiting to pursue my dream career in Veterinary Nursing.

I am now attending Rodbaston College as a Student Veterinary Nurse and I enjoy all aspects of my work and enjoy learning new skills. At home I have a Pony, Rabbits, Bearded Dragons, Chickens and Fish. Outside of work I volunteer for the Riding for the disabled and enjoy swimming, going to local event and spending time with family and friends.

I have a Forensic Science Degree which I gained in June 2006 from Stoke-On-Trent University. Before joining Medivet to pursue a career in Veterinary Nursing, I worked in the financial & accounting industry. I have also worked in recruitment and for the Police. 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.
