Veterinary Surgeon and Practice Owner

BSc(Hons)Pharm MVB MRCVS

Read Dr Roger Irish bio

I qualified as a Vet from UCD in Dublin in 2009, and spent two and a half years working in mixed practice in Ireland. My wife is from London, so we moved back in 2012 and I have been working in small animal practice ever since. I am currently undertaking a post graduate certificate in small animal medicine. I enjoy all aspects of being a vet, both medical and surgical. I grew up on a family farm, surrounded by animals. Despite originally becoming a Pharmacist and working in that profession for several years, I always knew that veterinary medicine was where my heart was, therefore it was back to university for me. I am now fortunate to do a job that I love. When not at work, I enjoy spending time with my wife, two daughters, and our Norfolk terrier, Pip. I am also a keen sportsperson, although sadly my playing days are just about finished. I guess it comes to us all!

I qualified from the University of Veterinary Medicine Vienna in 2005. Whilst working full time in a small animal hospital in Austria I continued a post graduate doctoral program at the University for two years and came to the UK in 2010. After working in a small animal hospital with out of hours service in Hertfordshire for five years I joined the Vets4Pets group in 2015. I have been part of Vets for Pets Bishop's Stortford since April 2018. I enjoy all aspects of small animal medicine but I particularly like internal medicine and abdominal ultrasound. In my spare time I enjoy travelling, reading and skiing in Austria.

I have been a vet nurse since 2013 and working with Vets for Pets since June 2024 after working at multiple practices in the area and some locum work. I have enjoyed all the things you can learn from working with many different veterinary professionals with different approaches and skill sets. 

My special interest is cat behaviour, I love the spicy misunderstood ones. I also have a keen interest with Rabbits so enjoy seeing more of them within Vets for Pets.
I have two cats at home, Figgy pudding and Toby toe beans who were both rescue. No vet nurse is complete without at least one of them!

I have been a Client Care Advisor here at Vets for Pets Bishops Stortford since November 2018.  I have two gorgeous French Bulldogs (Piper & Trevor) and two cats, Cassie and Dilly.

Having always been around animals since a young age, I’ve always had a keen interest in working with them. I worked at a boarding kennels and cattery before coming to Vets for Pets, and working there helped me gain a lot of knowledge about dogs and cats. However I am now looking forward to extending my knowledge further through a veterinary-based role. 

I look forward to meeting all of you and your lovely pets!

Hi I'm Nikki, I've always loved animals & my little chihuahua Mimi is my best friend. I'm a mum of one and he keeps on my toes! I've always volunteered at animal sanctuaries and campaigned for animal welfare in my free time. I'm so grateful to be finally working in a job I genuinely love. My goal is ultimately to become a Veterinary Nurse. I joined the team at Vets for Pets Bishop's Stortford in 2022.

Hello there! My name is Dani and I joined the Vets for Pets team as a Client Care Advisor in June 2025. I have always been an avid animal lover, having had many, many different pets. Currently, I have three cats who I adore, with dreams of one day owning my very own Maine Coon/House panther! With my many years’ of varied experience within customer service, administration and social care, I enjoy adapting and evolving my skills to support our clients in caring for their pets. I am looking forward to expanding my knowledge further, especially in cat behaviour and well-being, as well as learning clinical skills along the way.
