I grew up in Prescot and attended the University of Liverpool Vet School, graduating in 2012. After this I moved to a busy practice in Stoke, but have returned to Liverpool and joined the Walton Vale team. I have worked with lots of rescues and have taken on a 3 legged Springer Spaniel called Daisy!
I am originally from Liverpool but have completed my veterinary degree at the Royal Veterinary College in London, I decided to return to Liverpool after my studies.
I have been training to Walton Vale Vets4Pets while at university, so know the practice and the team well. I’m particularly interested in cardiology, and have a Cocker Spaniel at home called Reggie!
I am from Liverpool and also attended the University of Liverpool School of Veterinary Science, qualifying in 2017. I started working at Old Swan Vets4Pets before transferring to Walton Vale. I have a keen interest in general surgery, but can’t wait to meet all of your pets during consultations.
I grew up in Newcastle upon Tyne but fell in love with Liverpool when I moved here to study Veterinary Science at university. After graduating in 2019 I worked in a busy veterinary hospital in the north-east for two years, then returned to Liverpool where I have settled. I have a particular interest in soft tissue surgery and love being around cats and rabbits
Bio coming soon!
I am from Liverpool and I have been working in the veterinary industry since I was 16 years old. I qualified as a Veterinary Nurse back in 2008. I have been working with Vets4Pets since 2010 working as a Vet Nurse and then I was promoted to Head Nurse. I have now moved to Walton Vale as their Clinical Manager which is a new role for me to undertake but I am looking forward to the challenge of this role.
At home I have a son called Charlie. My dream would be to have a house full of German Shepherds and Belgium Malinois and I would also love to own a rescue centre for them.

I originally started volunteering at Liverpool Old Swan Vets4Pets before moving to Companion Care Prescot and attending Myerscough to complete my Degree in Veterinary Nursing. Since qualifying I have working in at Northwest Veterinary Specialist where I found my passion for in patient care and working closely with animals to provide the best care and love whilst they were in with us. Following this I moved into providing Out Of Hours care working nights. I loved the emergency side of veterinary nursing and gained a lot of experience whilst there. I recently had my little boy Frankie and got to spend a whole year out of work with him and my beagle Hugo! I have now came to Walton Vale Vets4Pets to work some with familiar faces, a new lovely supporting team and still get to have a life outside of work.
I have been a client at Walton Vale Vets4Pets since the day it opened! I then came to the practice for work experience before starting my nurse training at a local practice. I qualified as Registered Veterinary Nurse in 2021 and moved over to Walton Vale in 2022.
I moved to Walton Vale Vets4Pets in 2021 to continue my training to become a Registered Veterinary Nurse. I attend college weekly and then receive training in the week in the practice to grow my practical skills.

I have been working in Vets4Pets practices for over 2 years, but have joined Walton Vale Vets4Pets on returning from maternity leave after my second son. I live locally and love being able to recognise familiar faces from my dog walks when they come into the practice! At home I have three dogs (Rico, Oleg and Flick) plus my partner and twice gorgeous sons to keep me busy!
This is my first time working in a veterinary practice, with previous roles in client care. I’m excited to meet your pets and learn how best to advise you on their care. At home I have a gorgeous staffy called Bella
I joined Vets4Pets in June 2018 after working at another vet practice upon leaving Myerscough college where I studied animal care. I have years of experience in both customer care based roles and reception. I have a Border Collie called Drake who I spend a lot of my spare time with at the beach.
I started at the practice on a temporary basis during the COVID pandemic to assist with looking after clients while social distancing! Once restrictions were lifted, I started permanently as a Client Care Advisor while attending university to study graphic design. I have a dog at home and you may see me arrive on my motorbike!

We are currently working towards achieving accreditation from the investors in the environment. The iie are an independent body that gives awards to companies that are reducing their carbon footprints. Our practice is working hard to reduce the amount of gases we use during general anaesthetic procedures as this is most damaging to the environment. You can find out more by reading our environmental policy.
The friendly team can't wait to meet all of their new clients!
