Bury Vets for Pets

Chris graduated as a Veterinary Surgeon from the University of Bristol in 1999 and has been working as a Veterinary Surgeon in the Bury area since 2001, doing a combination of general practice medicine and surgery, in addition to many years of accident and emergency work at a local out of hours and emergency clinic. He joined the Bury Vets 4 Pets team in May 2017, and has recently become a partner at the practice. Chris enjoys the broad mix that first opinion small animal medicine and surgery provides, and divides his time at Vets for Pets between operating and consulting. When he isn’t working, much of his free time is spent with his wife, and young son Jacob, who manages to keep mum and dad very busy! His Border Collie and 2 cats complete the household!

Michael qualified as a vet in 2007 from the University of Liverpool and spent the early part of his career working in mixed and equine practice. Having made the move back to small animal practice, Michael studied for the Royal Collage of Veterinary Surgeons Certificate in Advanced Veterinary Practice. He joined the team at Bury Vets for Pets in 2015 and became a partner in 2016. His main interests in veterinary practice are Internal Medicine and Diagnostic Imaging. Outside of work Michael enjoys spending time with his family who breed Exmoor Ponies; a rare breed native to the South West, Michael has been recognised for his efforts in conservation by being awarded Helen Dashwood Perpetual Cup for outstanding services to the breed and the RBST/Marsh Christian Award for Conservation in Genetic Biodiversity.

Lisa qualified in 2015 as a Veterinary Surgeon from Liverpool University. Prior to this, she graduated from Newcastle University in 2011 with a bachelor’s degree in Zoology. From university, she began a career as an equine vet before deciding that the larger scope for diagnostics and more frequent opportunities in surgery lead her to pursue a career in small animals. From here she joined the Bury Vets for Pets team in 2016. In her free time, Lisa enjoys riding, travelling, or spending time with her lurcher Shindig.

Amy qualified as a vet in 2012 from the University of Bristol and spent the first year in a charity practice abroad. On returning to the UK she has worked in a variety of first opinion practices across the North West as well as a local emergency clinic.

She is particularly interested in medicine cases but enjoys the variety of practice that being a veterinarian offers.

In addition, she is working on her British Sign Language skills both in the consult room and outside, and is very happy to use BSL in consults should clients find it helpful.

When not working, she is kept busy enough with her husband and young daughter, and not so young working cocker spaniel! They will often be found hiking or biking in the countryside.

Hi, My name is Beth. I have been at Bury Vets for Pets since 2016, where I started my training as a Student Veterinary Nurse. I qualified as a Registered Veterinary Nurse in 2019. I enjoy looking after all my inpatients and getting the chance to meet old and new patients during our nurse clinics.

My name is Connor and I am a Student Veterinary Nurse at Bury Vets for Pets. I have wanted to become a Veterinary Nurse since I was at school. I started my RVN training in January 2022 after working at another local Vets as a Vet Care Assistant. My favourite part of nursing is being on the wards, caring for the patients, as I find this aspect of nursing really rewarding. In my spare time I love walking my dog, Buster and being outdoors. I also have a lizard called Mango.

I am the go to girl in the team and here for all. If anyone needs anything, bandages and plasters, medicines, or a cup of tea and hug, then I keep our team well supplied. I also provide a pastoral role, for owners who are preparing to or have lost their beloved pet. I am passionate about canine communication and behaviour. My husband and I are owned by 2 whippets.

Having been raised around dogs from an early age I grew up with a natural affinity for animals and always love spending time with my own rescue dogs and cats. I previously worked and continue to be involved with a donkey rescue charity. I also spent time as a volunteer assisting with dog training classes using positive reinforcement training and doing voluntary work here at Vets for Pets before joining the nursing team as a Veterinary Care Assistant.

 

I joined Vets for Pets in February 2018. My husband and I are servants to Shae (dog) Buffy and kia (cats). I enjoy working with the team at Bury and all our clients to ensure the best care for all our companions.

I joined the practice in February 2018. I have grown up with pets all my life from hamsters to German shepherd’s I love them all but I do have a soft spot ....German shepherds.

Best part about the job is working with the team and being able to help owners with their loved pets.
