Veterinary nurses

Kay has a degree in veterinary nursing and qualified in 2009. Previous to working with us she worked in the Midlands with farm and small animals, which is where she developed an interest in surgery and enjoys scrubbing in and assisting the vets. In 2012 Kay completed her certificate in exotic species which covers the nursing of birds, reptiles and small furries. Kay is also one of our cat advocates. With a keen interest in our feline friends she is keen to promote and lead a cat friendly stance at our practice. Kay shares her house with Berlioz the cat and a swimming and tennis ball obsessed black Labrador called Milo.

Laura has worked at the practice since leaving her sixth form in 2003, and qualified as a veterinary nurse in 2006. She has a keen interest in laboratory work and patient holistic care. She is our insurance claim processor, so if you have ever had an insurance query you would have bound to have spoken to Laura.

Rachel qualified in 2013 and has worked with small animals since she began her training, after qualifying she has also worked in an emergency out of hours clinic. She is an advanced pet health counsellor meaning she enjoys nurse clinics and answering all your questions. At home she has so many Spaniels she's lost count.

Donna first came here for work experience during her studies at sixth form and has never left. Her main interests are rabbits and Springer Spaniels, and has frequently been known to take home wildlife that need a bit of TLC before releasing.

Linda started on reception in 2017 and is now studying towards her veterinary nursing qualification. Before joining us Linda completed a degree in animal science and welfare. At home she has two Staffordshire Bull Terriers, Mitch and Millie.

Kelly has been with the practice for several years and carries out nursing duties at Cliff Lane. She can usually be found out the back looking after animals under anaesthetic and during recovery. When not here she enjoys spending time with her family.

Kelsi started with us in 2021 and her role is to assist the vets during the consultation. This includes holding and reassuring your pets when they are in with us.
