Advanced services
We have invested considerably in our team and kit to make a number of advanced services available to our clients. We also accept referrals from other practices.
Orthopaedics and fracture repair
Our veterinary team have undertaken advanced training to allow us to perform orthopaedic surgery in our practice. If your pet develops an abnormality involving their skeleton or joints, such as elbow dysplasia, a patella (kneecap) that gets stuck, or a torn cruciate ligament, an orthopaedic procedure may help them.
Ultrasound
We are pleased to be able to offer ultrasound scanning in practice, which is a painless way to look inside your pet’s body to find out what’s going on.

Meet the team
In the last 12 years our practice has grown from just 3 members to where it is now, a 6 vet, 5 registered vet nurse, 6 client care advisor & 1 practice manager, practice. We’re very proud of the team and their commitment to you all.
Martin is our Clinical Director. He was involved in the practice long before it opened, being heavily involved in the design and layout of the practice to ensure we could give the best clinical service in safety and comfort.
As Clinical Director he sets the tone of the practice clinically, developing and monitoring the clinical standards and protocols to ensure we are consistently and repeatably offering the best for you and your pets in the safest way.
Even if you don't see him for your visit he will likely be involved in your pets care in some way or other. He runs our clinical club and case review sessions.
He also is involved in training, supporting and developing the skills of the rest of the clinical team.
What's the best pet name that you've ever come across?
Never met it but I've always thought Andrew is an amusing name for a horse
What is your favourite famous animal?
Lorenzo the llama.
What's the best aspect of working for Vets4Pets?

Nicolle is Blackpool born and bred. She loves working in the area where she has grown up and enjoys all aspects of veterinary medicine.
She has recently taken on a new puppy who is currently ruling the home!
Robyn has worked and lived in Thornton-Cleveleys for most of her career and so is a familiar face for many of us.
She is passionate about animal behaviour and is studying a post graduate qualification in this subject area. Robyn is a cat fanatic and particularly enjoys feline medicine.
At home Robyn is the owner of 3 cats, 2 dogs, 3 chickens and 3 children.

Miss Keely Jolliffe
Clinical supervisor and registered Vet Nurse
RVN, SQP
Keely is an RVN and Clinical Care Supervisor. She began with the practice as a student nurse 11 years ago! She qualified from Myerscough with a degree in Veterinary Nursing in 2015 and took on the role of clinical care supervisor 3 years ago. Keely's job is to ensure the clinical standards, set by Martin, are adhered to and maintained by everyone each and every day. She is also an SQP which is a small animal medicines advisor. This allows her to prescribe certain medications to our patients. In addition to all this she is one of our clinical coaches for nursing students.
Keely loves all aspects of my job but especially like the aftercare of patients that have been critically ill, injured or have undergone major surgery. She has a nursing certificate in emergency medicine. As well as the immediate aftercare, Keely loves seeing the recovery process in the days and weeks to come.
I'm Claire one of the vet nurses here. I started with the practice as a student nurse almost 7 years ago and qualified just over 4 years ago. I am also an SQP which allows me to advise and prescribe certain medications to my patients.
I am working towards a certificate in nutrition so I am able to run clinics surrounding all things food related, whether you have a fussy pet, one with allergies or a pet with specific dietary requirements or are simply struggling with their weight. I am also a clinical coach.
I love my job and especially favour scrubbing in to assist the vets with complex surgical procedures and stitching up the patients.
I have a nursing certificate in animal nutrition
Becky trained with us as a student but was unfortunately we didn't have a vacancy to join the team when she qualified. We are delighted that our continued growth has now given us the opportunity to have Becky return full time as an RVN.
She is passionate about inpatient care and ensuring the highest standards are met. She is a clinical coach to our student nurses and enjoys spending time developing their knowledge and skills.
At home she has a number of bunny rabbit's and is facinated by all things Japan and Korea!
Caitlin joined us as a permanent member of our nursing team shortly after graduating. She is already a familiar face to us as she was also part of our student nursing team, completing her training with us over the 3 years of her course.
She is funny and enthusiastic and is looking forward to settling in to the team and developing all of her skills and passions.
Lucy qualified as an ACA in 2021 and has been a member of the practice ever since. She enjoys spending time with the inpatients and ensuring that they have a comfortable stay while they are with us. Lucy enjoys being part of the team and feeling like she is making a difference.
She is outgoing and bubbly and you'll be greeted by a big grin if she's helping on reception on your visit.
Gemma has worked at Cleveleys since 2015. Initially she worked front of house as an animal care assistant but has now recently moved more to our ACA role. This allows Gemma to utilise more of her animal skills, having studied animal welfare and behaviour at Myerscough College.
In addition to this she also manages the retail side of things in the practice, sourcing new and exciting stock from a variety of suppliers.
Gemma has also completed a Client Care at Animals End of Life course. End of life is obviously such a distressing time for any owner and grief can affect people in a variety of ways. She prides herself in being able to support clients and patients going through this traumatic time should they need it.
I'm Simon, Company Director, I opened the practice with Martin back in 2012. When there was only the 3 members of staff. I am extremely proud to have developed the practice and of the 21 members of the team, we now have. It is very satisfying to have evolved the practice to meet the changing needs of our patients and their owners. I am a big believer in teamwork and as well as my day to day office duties I am more than happy to assist in our vast amount of daily cleaning duties and puppy cuddling.
Danielle opened the practice with us in 2012. She has been an important influence in the look and feel of the practice.
In 2019 she completed a certificate in animal behaviour and is able to offer behavioural consults to our clients.
She recently took a career break and returned as Compliance Manager for the practice. This role focusses on ensuring we are adhering to our practice standards commitments such as; 'cat friendly' & RCVS accredited practice. It is a role that also involves looking for opportunities to improve the practice experience for our team, our patients and the environment. In 2024 she has now taken over the Practice Manager role from Simon.
Charlotte joined us in summer 2023 and has quickly found her feet with the team. She leads our client care team and is always ready to greet our clients with her big beaming smile.
I'm Caroline and am the Client Care Supervisor. I started with the practice in 2013 as a receptionist and was promoted to supervisor a few years later. I oversee the "front of house" ensuring that everything runs as smoothly as possible and I undertake much of the administration duties, including insurance claims, Health and Safety, Fire Safety and First Aid. I'm also an SQP which enables me to prescribe and dispense certain medications to your pets. I enjoy seeing all of our lovely patients (and their owners), and look forward to seeing you soon!
Sheila has been part of our practice family for several years, first having worked for us in 2016. After trialling her hand at some other interests Sheila returned to help us out in early 2021. Initially she was here as maternity cover but is now a permanent member of the team who will become an increasingly familiar face in the coming years!
At home Sheila enjoys spending time with her adorable cat, Gerrard.
Jade joined us in early 2021 and has quickly found her feet in the practice.
She always has a smile on her face and loves snatching the odd cheeky cuddle from the puppies and kittens as they are passing by.
Debbie joined the client care team in late 2021 having previously worked in other veterinary practices. She is an enthusiastic and caring member of the team.
She enjoys all aspects of the job especially the fact that everyday is different, everday is a school day and there's always a new challenge.
