High Wycombe - Wycombe Marsh (inside Pets at Home) Vets4Pets

I started my veterinary career in Norfolk in 1991 doing both farm and companion animal medicine. I have been working in Buckinghamshire for the last eighteen years with companion animals as an all round general practitioner. I am delighted to have the privilege to lead the exceptionally committed team at Companion Care High Wycombe. At home I am supported by my family; four children, my partner and a rescued Dobermann, Peeta who has a very positive attitude to life! I look forward to meeting new and existing clients and helping wherever possible. Please always feel free to ask questions.

I was born and raised in High Wycombe. After graduating from Cambridge University in 2005, I have always worked in small animal practice. I have a particular interest in Feline Medicine including completing a certificate in Feline Practice in 2011. I joined the Vets4Pets team in 2015 on a part-time basis, and the rest of the time I’m kept busy looking after my two young boys.

I joined Vets4Pets after graduating from Bristol University  in 2016, and joined the team at Wycombe Marsh in 2019 after moving to Buckinghamshire. I enjoy all aspects of companion animal practice but have particular interests in surgery and dermatology. I also enjoy treating the small furries and have two guinea pigs and a hamster at home. My spare time  is mostly  spent outdoors with my partner, whether that be open water swimming, cycling or walking in the Chilterns

I graduated in Madrid in 2011, I have two dogs and three cats back home in Spain. I enjoy surgery and have developed an interest for Emergency and Critical Care (ECC) in the past few years. Outside of work, I like to read mystery and historical books and also like to go for long walks in nature. 

I started working in small animal practice in 2012 and qualified as a Veterinary Nurse in 2015. Since then I have worked in various practices and joined the team at Vets4Pets in summer 2017. I enjoy all aspects of nursing and the unpredictability of working with animals ensures that no two days are ever the same! I am particularly interested in rehabilitation and am currently studying towards a qualification in Veterinary Physiotherapy. Outside of work I enjoy horse riding and playing the piano.

I qualified as a Veterinary Nurse in 2000 after starting my training at a Veterinary practice in Maidenhead in 1997.

Over the years I have worked in many different types of Veterinary practice and hospitals, including referral nursing. During this time I took a special interest in anaesthesia, surgical and intensive care nursing. In the last few years I have particularly enjoyed nurse clinics and supporting clients in the day to day care of their fur babies and building relationships with them and the practice.

One of my earliest memories at approx age 6 is of wanting to be a Veterinary Nurse, I love my job - every day is different. And although there are certain aspects that aren't particularly pleasant, such as being pooed on or bitten. I would not choose a different path.

When I'm not at work, I'm a busy mum of two boys and have my own brood of fur babies to care for.

I qualified as a Veterinary Nurse  way back in the late 90's. During my   career I have also ventured into human nursing, qualifying as an ODP in 2007! I joined Vets4Pets in February 2020 following several years as Head Nurse at Crossroads Veterinary Practice  in High Wycombe. Outside of  work, I am a keen runner (having completed over 60 half marathons, and 4 London Marathons). I also enjoy swimming, and walking my two border terriers, Ronnie and Pippa who take up much of my remaining spare time. 

I started at Vets4Pets in 2016 as a Veterinary Care Assistant after completing a Level 3 Extended Diploma in Animal Management at Berkshire College of Agriculture. Whilst in this role I gained so much experience and knowledge and have been lucky enough to start my dream nursing career and have been a student nurse since January 2018. I am yet to find a particular area of nursing that I enjoy most over others, although nothing is better than seeing animals go home with happy purrs and wagging tails. When not at work or studying I am constantly kept on my toes by two Cocker Spaniels, Monty and Archie.

I worked for many years with race horses in Poland. In January 2005, I came to England and worked with competition and riding school horses. In 2013, I started my adventure into the Veterinary world.

My first practice was in Reading and I worked there for 3 years and gained a lot of hands on experience. In 2016, I started work as a VCA with the possibility to train as a Veterinary Nurse in the future.

At home, my grown up son is still living with us, and in my free time I enjoy horse riding and spending time looking after my four gorgeous rabbits, Cynamon, Azelia, Malwinka and Oliver.

I started at Vets4Pets as a weekend receptionist in September 2018, and quickly realised how much I enjoyed working within the practice and with the team here. I took on the role of Client Services Manager in November 2018. I enjoy the fact that every day is different, and you don’t know what you are walking into. I could be supporting clients in a difficult position, on reception or even holding the back end of a wriggly animal. I look forward to helping support the business grow over the coming years

Sophie has been working for Companion Care for 4 and half years already, having started as a part time receptionist; this is when she realised her passion for the veterinary field and later went on to become Practice Coordinator. She thoroughly loves her job and working within such a close team. She currently lives with husband Daniel and their little cat Mou.

I have held this position now for 2 years having been in a financial/admin role for most of my career. A complete change and I have learnt a lot, and I’m still learning. I am very happy each day to go to work and feel privileged to work with such a caring and knowledgeable team and it’s so interesting hear their discussions and watch them put their skills into practice. It is also rewarding following the journey of a sick or injured pet and getting to know and support the clients. At home are fortunate to still have our son and daughter living with us as we share many laughs together. Or two dogs also keep us busy with lots of walks and fun

I have worked for Vets4Pets for nearly 6 years now as a receptionist. It really is my dream job as being around pets is so rewarding. The best part of my job is meeting the clients and their beloved fur babies. I really enjoy giving new owners advice and explaining the plans we offer. The days are never the same, which makes it interesting. This is a great team to be part of and working together with the vets and nurses gives me a great insight into the vet world. I am an owner of a 7 year old border-collie called Axle, I love to walk him, I’m just mad about Collies.

Having worked  in the tourism and hospitality industry for over 20 years, I joined Vets4Pets at Wycombe Marsh late 2020. Being the loving mother of 4 Labradors, my passion for animals  has always outstripped any I had for the travel industry and it took the turmoil of 2020 to make me realise my  dream. Working with the loving Wycombe  Marsh team, Vets4Pets, the supplier, the amazing clients and of course the beautiful pets, allows me to thrive in an environment I naturally feel at home in
