Liverpool Old Swan Vets4Pets

I qualified from the University of Nottingham and began working at Liverpool Vets4Pets in June 2015. I was excited to join the team having previously undertaken placements here as a student, and have since enjoyed getting to know all of our lovely clients and their pets. I have always had a keen interest in small animal practice, particularly in soft tissue surgery and ophthalmology. At home I have a naughty tortie cat called Chihiro.

I qualified in 2016 in University of Life Sciences in Poland. I worked in Poland for couple of months, and then started my great British adventure. I moved to UK, worked in Southport for half a year and finally, in May 2017, I joined Vets4Pets practice, where I’ve stayed until present day. During my studies I worked as a volunteer and then veterinary assistant in Sheller for Homeless animals, I did work experience in veterinary practices, hospitals and research centres and took part in Erasmus Programme in Universita di Pisa, Italy. I really enjoy working in Vets4Pets and I find everyone here very welcoming. I am really happy to meet all our clients and of course, their four legged friends. I enjoy all aspects of my work but I have a special interest in dermatology and rabbit medicine. I have a rabbit, Timon, who stole my heart three years ago and since then is my loyal, little friend. Vet, traveller and martial artist – my perfect day includes animals, kung fu training, and planning (or departing on) another journey. Oh, and a cup of strong coffee as well. Apart from that I am keen on writing, drawing, running and everything that keeps me active and busy.

I qualified as a Veterinary Nurse in 2002. Following that I took a break from nursing to go to university to study graphic design. I returned to nursing in 2016 and before joining the vets4pets team in August 2017, I volunteered as a Veterinary Nurse at the PDSA for 8 months. I really enjoy working at Vets4Pets Old Swan, we have a lovely, friendly team here and wonderful clients and patients. I love looking after all the animals that come in to our care at the surgery and meeting our clients with their pets in our nurse clinics. At home I have have two rescue cats called Missy and Zelda and a bearded dragon called Brian. When I am not at Vets4Pets I am usually working at home as a freelance graphic designer and taking my two sons freerunning.

 

I have been qualified as an RVN since 2008. I started at Old Swan Vets4Pets in March 2019 as a transfer the Speke branch where I started in 2015. My main interests are wound care and bandaging. My favourite patients are cats.

I graduated from Nottingham Trent University in 2017 with a degree in Veterinary Nursing.
I have been at Old Swan Vets4Pets since I was 6 months qualified. I thoroughly enjoy working at this practice and get along well with the team as they are more like my family.
My favourite part of the job is meeting the lovely owners and creating a bond with the owners and their pets through our nurse consultations. I have 2 black and white rescue cats called Cosmo and Cleo who I adore. I also have a bunny who lives indoors called Dexter. I have a keen interest in rabbits and love to be involved with their cases. I love expanding my knowledge of animals through continued professional development.
In my spare time I like to practice my make-up skills and attend various gigs as I also love live music.

I qualified as a Veterinary Nurse in 2002 and have since worked in Liverpool and around the North West.  I joined Vets4Pets in 2013 and came to Old Swan in June 2019.  I am delighted to be part of the friendly professional team here who all strive to give the best possible care to all of our patients.  At home, I have two cats, Paddington and Pootle, who were rescued as kittens and a rescue rabbit called Hazel.  Away from work, I volunteer with a charity which helps the dogs of homeless people, giving them basics such as food and bedding but also veterinary care when needed.  I am also involved in an arts organisation which creates public and community arts events and I have had my own artworks displayed in various cities throughout the country.

I have been working for Vets4Pets for 5 years. Previously I worked for over 30 years in retail and business management. It’s a really enjoyable job working with such a dedicated team and I get to meet lots of our patients as well, which is another aspect of the job I really enjoy. I have a cat called Miya and my son has a Rabbit called Peanut. My daughter has a Pug called Lilo who often comes to visit me.

I have worked for Vets4Pets since June 2016. I moved over to Old Swan in September 2017. I've always worked in administration but one of my dreams has been to work around animals so this, to me, is the best of both worlds. I have three dogs, Oona, Numey and Floki. Two cats, Hercules and I(i)olaus and I also foster dogs and cats on occasion for re-homing centers and animal charities local to where I live. If it were up to me, I'd be living on a farm with lots of land and spend my days taking care of many more animals.

I joined the Vets4Pets team in June 2017 as a Client Care Advisor. I previously worked as a Pet Department Manager for 17 years and have an interest in Rabbits, Guinea Pigs and Syrian Hamsters. Alongside working in Old Swan Vets4Pets I am currently training to become a Counsellor, and would like to eventually specialise in Pet Bereavement Counselling. I have been involved with horses for over 30 years, which I am currently taking a break from but hope to return to in the future. My favourite part of working as a Client Care Co-ordinator is getting to know all of our lovely Patients and their Owners, and having lots of doggy kisses and cuddles every day that I am in work. I only have one pet at home- a 13 year old black cat called AJ who keeps me entertained every day.

After finishing my degree I began working for the NHS, where I stayed for 10 years. Recently I fancied a change and applied for a job at Vets4Pets. I have always loved animals and have recently been volunteering at the RSPCA in Halewood, which was a lot of fun! I am really enjoying working at Vets4Pets and find it very interesting. We have a great team here and I love meeting all the different animals (especially the kittens!) I'm a huge movie fan, especially horror films. I live with one of my friends and my 2 cats, Lottie and Elio, and in my spare time I like to swim and love the cinema.

Hi I’m Andre and started with the Vets4Pets team in Old Swan in Autumn of 2018. I’m also currently in third year at the University of Liverpool studying towards my Veterinary Medicine degree and work here part-time alongside my studies; so you might see me out front working on reception or also as a student on placement, helping with consultations and looking after patients while they’re with us. I love seeing all of our regular clients and patients, and spending time with my two rascal cats Victor and Isa.

I began volunteering with Vets4Pets in July 2018, I then secured a permanent position in my current roll as Client Care Advisor in November 2018. At home I have a lovely hamster, Ena, and two very noisy budgies, Luke and Leia. I have loved animals all my life, having had most pets known to man, so working here suits me just fine."

I am a first year student currently studying at Myerscough College. Having thoroughly enjoyed my work experience at the practice, I was thrilled when I was able to return for my university placements. I love working alongside my colleagues and meeting clients. I have two cats called Bernard and Monty at home who are angels...most of the time.

I started volunteering at Old Swan in 2018 and landed the role of Veterinary Care Assistant after a few months. I completed a level 3 BTEC Extended Diploma in animal management a few years ago and have been able to put my knowledge from the course to use during my time at Old Swan.

Hi my name is Julie and I have been at Vets4pets since May 2021. I have a degree in Psychology and I am a qualified Psychodynamic Counsellor. I have worked with animals in the past and it was always something I wanted to go back to so working here is perfect for me as I get to meet all our lovely clients and their pets. I have an anti social cat of my own called Murphy who keeps me entertained and I like reading and watching crime dramas.
