Chester Caldy V4P Surgery Background

Emma Hall

Practice Owner & Veterinary Surgeon

Read Emma Hall bio

I graduated from Liverpool Vet School in 2005 and since then I have worked solely in small animal practice in Greater Manchester, Cheshire and North Wales. When the opportunity came up to run my own practice in my own neighbourhood of Chester I jumped at the chance. I love being a small animal vet and I am particularly passionate about surgery. I gained my RCVS Certificate in Advanced Veterinary Practice (General Small Animal Surgery) in December 2012. I am also an RCVS listed Advanced Practitioner. Outside of work I enjoy walking Timo (my border collie), doing DIY with my husband and going on holidays abroad, especially to wine-producing areas.

I started out as an Auxiliary Nurse in 2011, and Qualified as a Registered Veterinary Nurse in 2017. I mainly have worked in a Hospital Environment for most of my career, and since October 2017 worked as a referral nurse. 

I came to Chester Caldy in October 2020 and took on the Practice Manager role since having my son in 2018. I love spending time with Family on days out and I have two Cheeky Cats that keep us all entertained too.

I have moved from Pets At Home Chester Caldy where I have worked for the past 12 years to Vets4Pets Chester Caldy as a Veterinary Care Assistant. (So if my face looks familiar - that's probably why!) I’ve always wanted to work with animals. I have a National Certificate in Animal Management and a Foundation Degree in Animal Behaviour and Welfare. I currently own two lovely cats Lexie and Maisie, and two very cute guinea pigs Simba and Fudge. When I am not working I am busy with my two little boys. In the future I hope to further my career by training to become a Veterinary Nurse here at Vets4Pets.

Client Care Advisor

I joined Vets4Pets in October 2017 and have since been thoroughly enjoying being part of the Chester Caldy team. Prior to working here I was already a satisfied client at this practice. I have always found the staff to be friendly, empathetic and supportive and the treatment that my pets have received has been exceptional – which is exactly what attracted me to the job! I live locally with my other half, my two rabbits, Lily and Mopsy and my dog Koda. I have always been an animal lover and would often drive my mother mad when I was younger, with my eagerness to take in waifs and strays! You’ll usually find me on reception or else I’m probably in back nosing at what’s going on or making cups of tea! I love getting to know the patients and their owners, fostering great relationships and watching the animals grow and develop. There is always something interesting going on in the surgery, where every day is different and the local pets like to keep us on our toes!

Head Client Care Advisor

I started working here at Chester CaldyVets4Pets as a Client Care Advisor in March 2019. I worked as a veterinary receptionist elsewhere before I started here and I can honestly say that it is an absolutely brilliant place to work! Everybody here is so friendly and I have loved getting to know our lovely clients and their beautiful pets over the last couple of years! You will mainly find me on the reception desk waiting to greet you and your pets with a friendly face. Before I worked in the veterinary industry, I worked in retail and whilst I enjoyed the customer facing aspect of the job, as a huge animal lover, I always longed to work with animals. That is why when the opportunity to become a veterinary receptionist, I jumped at the chance and I have never looked back! I love it! I live with my husband, daughter, Milo the dog, two lionhead rabbits Benji and Bernie and a Hermanns tortoise, Dobby. Having pets myself, I fully understand how important our clients animals are to them and how much a part of the family they are. In my spare time I love to spend as much time with my family as possible.  I look forward to welcoming you and your pets into our practice!
