I graduated from the University of Nottingham in 2016 and I have worked in small animal practice since then – in and around Newcastle, finally settling at Bedlington Vets4Pets. 

I am originally from Newcastle – so naturally in my spare time I enjoy exploring our beautiful coastline and the amazing countryside we have on our doorstep - with my beautiful Flat Coated Retriever 'Trudie'. I’ve always said there is no place in the world like the North East of England – I love it!

I am really looking forward to meeting all of the animals we have in South Shields Quays – and treating them all like one of our extended Vets4Pets family.

Read Laurie Maddox bio

Having always been interested in animals from a young age. I qualified in 2008 as a Registered Veterinary Nurse. I have worked with Vets4Pets since 2011. I enjoy the practical element of my job; nursing sick patients, anaesthesia, radiography, nurse clinics and have by completed a course in surgical nursing. I am also a clinical coach, training and mentoring students in practice. The decision to join Robert and become owners of the Bedlington and South Shields Quays surgery provides the opportunity to combine continuity of care to our patients and stability for our whole Veterinary team. I have a horse named Woody. My spare time is spent with my family; my husband, little girl Amelia and my little boy Fletcher.

I started my veterinary career as a receptionist back in 2016 and have worked my way from there, qualifying as a Registered Veterinary Nurse in December 2024. I started at South Shields Quays in February 2025. 
I love the variety each day in the practice brings, as well as meeting all the different types animals. My favourite patients are the spicy cats, they always put up a good challenge!
I am particularly interested in anaesthesia and imaging.
I have two cats at home, Seth who is a 12 year old fluffy black and white boy, and Ethel, a 7 year old tortie who still looks like a kitten!
