Sunderland Vets4Pets

I qualified as a veterinary surgeon in 1999 and have worked in small animal and emergency/critical care practice since graduating. After all this time I still very much love being a vet and I enjoy the challenges that general practice brings both in medicine and surgical cases. Every day is different. The bond between a pet and their owner is something very special and I consider myself privileged to be able to play a part in maintaining that relationship.

After qualifying from Liverpool University in 2015 I joined Sunderland Vets4Pets as a new-graduate Vet. In 2016 I moved to Anglesey, North Wales where I lived with my Husband and our Great Dane Nelson for a year before moving back to the North East.

I love working at Sunderland South Vets4Pets. Despite the challenges we sometimes face, we are rewarded every day by the fab clients and pets we have the pleasure to look after.

My interests are dermatology and exotics, and outside of work I enjoy long walks with my family and our dogs. My favourite animal is the beautiful Black Rhino.

I qualified as a veterinary surgeon from the university of Edinburgh in 2018 but I am a local girl from Sunderland. i had spent several weeks doing work experience with Sunderland Vets4pets where i became very fond of the practice and the team and was thrilled to be offered a job as a new graduate vet. I love performing surgery but also have an interest in medicine so general practice is a great balance for me. i like to spend most of my spare time is spent walking with my dog, Fergus.

I qualified in 2015 from the University of Bern in Switzerland and after working in primary care practice for 20 months, I moved to the North East of England to do a rotating internship in a veterinary hospital. I then worked in primary care practice for a short period of time before doing a surgical internship during which I started to study for a Certificate in Small Animal Surgery in which I have a keen interest. I joined Vets4Pets Sunderland in November 2020 and enjoy the great variety of cases we see.

I qualified as a veterinary surgeon from Bristol University in 2020 and joined Vets4Pets Sunderland as a new graduate. After spending time there during university I was excited to join such a close knit team and excellent practice.
I love all aspects of being a vet and can’t wait to continue learning everyday and meeting all the wonderful pets and owners.

I graduated with a Double Degree in Veterinary Medicine & Animal Science from the University of Lleida, Spain. I briefly worked in Barcelona after qualification before deciding to continue my professional career in the UK. I've worked in primary care for two years now and I joined the Sunderland team in November 2021. I enjoy the great variety of cases we see on a daily basis & helping pets and getting to know their owners is what makes me love my job. I am currently enrolled in a post-graduate certificate in ophthalmology in which I am very passionate about. In my free time, I enjoy travelling and taking my Chihuahua Yeti for beach walks

I graduated in 2019 with a Double Degree in Veterinary Medicine and Animal Science from the University of Lleida, Spain. I moved to the North East of England soon after graduating, where I worked in a first opinion practice for two years before joining Vets4Pets Sunderland South team in November 2021. I have a strong interest in Internal Medicine, even though I love all the disciplines of Veterinary Medicine.

I am currently working on a Post Graduate Certificate in Internal Medicine.

In my spare time, I love to explore the countryside. I have a Chihuahua called Yeti who I love taking on walks.

I started as a school leaver helping out in a veterinary practice close to home in Northumberland in 1993. I went on to complete my nursing training and qualified as a Registered Veterinary Nurse in 1998. 5 years later I joined the Vets4Pets Group becoming the groups first veterinary nurse partner. After over 15 years as a Practice Partner my role has moved from full time nursing to a more practice management dominated role although I like to keep my hand in with nursing. My working week is split between Sunderland South Vets4Pets and our sister practice Sunderland Vets4Pets, where I am also the practice partner.

My nursing career started in 2000 following an animal management placement at a veterinary hospital in County Durham. I completed my nurse training there and qualified as an Registered Veterinary Nurse in 2004 spending a total of 8 years in practice and gaining numerous additional qualifications before moving on to work with Rachel as an RVN in Vets4Pets. Almost 10 years later and I am now Nursing Manager and Practice Partner alongside Rachel and have recently achieved a Graduate Diploma in Veterinary Nursing which is my greatest professional achievement to date.

I have a spaniel cross called Moz and two rescue cats, Tom and Vincent. I enjoy every aspect of veterinary nursing and love how every day is different. We have an amazing team here, and I am very lucky to be a part of this.

I qualified as a Registered Veterinary Nurse in 2003 and have worked with the team at Vets4Pets for a number of years and during this time I have gained additional qualifications in Emergency & Critical Care and Feline Friendly Nursing.   My role with the team involves being a consulting nurse and I am involved in community work visiting schools for educational purposes.  I get to meet your pets from their first visits through to their final visit.  I am currently studying to be a Feline Blood Pressure Nurse.  I have 2 Jack Russell Terriers at home.

 I am a final year veterinary nursing student, I joined the Vets4Pets family in August 2019 after completing my first year of training. I have always had a passion for working with animals. I currently have 3 dogs and 2 rabbits who I enjoy spending time with.

I am a first year student Veterinary Nurse; I have been with the team at Fulwell since 2015 when I started off as Veterinary Care Assistant. Since childhood I have had a love for animals and a passion for their welfare. I always knew I wanted to work in the Veterinary industry. I have a pug called Alfie and 2 cats called Dobby and Loki who my partner and I rescued as strays. I love my job and I couldn’t ask for a better team of nurses and vets to work alongside.
