Vets4Pets Lincoln South

I graduated from the University of Liverpool in July 2007. I started my career at a mixed practice in Barnsley, South Yorkshire, treating all species and moved into small animal practice two years later, working at a large first opinion and referral practice in West Yorkshire until opening Vets4Pets Lincoln South. I enjoy all aspects of small animal practice, but my main areas of interest are surgery and anaesthesia. To further these interests I have taken postgraduate training with a surgical bias and was awarded the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons Certificate in Advanced Veterinary Practice (General Small Animal Surgery) in 2014. As a result of this qualification and a commitment to continued training, I am recognised as an RCVS Advanced Practitioner in Small Animal Surgery. Lucy and I met at university. We got married in July 2013 and have moved to Lincoln to be closer to family. Lucy and I own a crossbreed dog called Nellie. We are fairly sure she is a whippet cross collie. We enjoy running our own practice and want to maintain a ‘family feel’ to the surgery, whilst offering high clinical standards.

I graduated from the University of Liverpool in 2007 and moved to Leeds to work at a family run small animal practice. I am interested in general small animal medicine and surgery but have a stronger interest in medicine, particularly dermatology, cardiology and feline medicine. My favourite piece of equipment is my stethoscope! Used in nearly every consultation I do and one of the most valuable pieces of equipment we have in day to day practice. I am originally from Lincoln and returned here, with David, to open Vets4Pets Lincoln South in 2014. In our spare time David and I love to take our dog, Nellie, on long walks. I am enjoying being back home in Lincolnshire and meeting our new clients and their pets!

I graduated from the University of Edinburgh in July 2004, and started my career working at a large mixed practice in rural Suffolk. After three years there, I spent some time working as a locum vet, both around the UK and abroad. Particular highlights included working for a small animal practice in Auckland, and volunteering for a charity neutering cats on the tiny Pacific island of Aitutaki. I moved to Lincoln in 2009, where I met my husband, Mark, and have lived here ever since. I joined the team here at Vets4Pets Lincoln South in January 2017, and am enjoying getting to know all of our clients and their pets. Professionally, I enjoy all aspects of first opinion practice, but have a particular interest in feline medicine. I have two small boys, as well as a Springer Spaniel called Suzie and a cat called Friday, who keep me busy when I'm not at work. I enjoy walking, family days out, and, when I get the chance, getting lost in a good book.

I qualified as a Veterinary Nurse in 2002 and spent a further 4 years working in a Small Animal Hospital. From here I spent 7 years working in an out-of-hours Emergency and Critical Care provider, where I became the Senior Veterinary Nurse and completed my Certificate of Veterinary Nursing in Emergency and Critical Care. I joined Vets4Pets in February 2014, having been with the practice since opening. I have a keen interest in Animal Welfare and Behaviour and have been very fortunate in being able to instigate many beneficial practices for our patients in a new and developing Veterinary Practice. I have recently completed my International Society of Feline Medicine Certificate in Feline Friendly Nursing and hope to implement many more welfare-friendly changes for our feline patients. I also lecture part-time on the BSc Hons Bioveterinary Science degree at the University of Lincoln; at the College of Animal Welfare and on Animal Aiders Canine First Aid courses for pet owners, which I enjoy immensely. I love animals and my job has made it very easy to collect a few waifs and strays over the years! I currently have 3 dogs (Izzy, Nellie and Tilly) and 1 cat (Alfie) who are thoroughly loved and spoilt! In my spare time I enjoying keeping fit and pushing myself physically. I take pleasure in walking my dogs, knitting and reading.

I qualified as a Registered Veterinary Nurse in 2006 and graduated with BSc (Hons) Veterinary Nursing and Practice Management in 2007. I have worked in a variety of practices from general practice to a veterinary hospital dealing with small animals, farm animals and horses. I have also worked with a variety of zoo animals such as lions and zebras. I joined Vets4Pets in June 2016 following maternity leave after having my son. I have a particular interest in animal behaviour and oral care. I have completed the BVNA Certificate in Small Animal Behaviour and BVNA Oral Care Nursing. I am doing further training in Schedule 3 Surgical Procedures as I enjoy surgical nursing. At home I have 2 cats that I rescued called Beinz and Oddi and a Labrador named Chunk.

I qualified as a Registered Veterinary Nurse in 2017. I decided to train as a veterinary nurse after working with primates at various animal rescue centres. I am looking forward to broadening my knowledge in a wide variety of subjects. I am particularly interested in animal nutrition and enjoy running puppy training classes here at the clinic. In my spare time I enjoy travelling, running, yoga and other physical activities. At home I have a bearded dragon called Pixie and British short hair called Bradley.

I qualified as a Veterinary Nurse in 2012 after attending Pershore College and completing a Diploma in Veterinary Nursing. I worked in a a mixed practice for 4 years before getting married and moving to Lincolnshire where I changed to small animal practice. I joined Vets4Pets in September 2018 as a weekend RVN. Several people have been asking why I’d want to do that; quite simply, I love my job and want to keep working while I raise a pair of small children during the rest of the week! I have enjoyed my time here immensely so far and I’m looking forward to meeting more of our lovely patients in the future! My husband and I have two children and a puppy who keep us very busy!

I joined Vets4Pets in November 2018. I am originally from Lincoln and have worked in a couple of practices in the area over the last 13 years. I qualified as a registered veterinary nurse in 2013 after this being my chosen career since I was young. I completed my International Society of Feline Medicine Certificate in Feline Friendly Nursing in 2016. I have a keen interest in emergency and critical care and I am currently studying towards a certificate in this subject. When not studying I enjoy walking my Border Terrier Piper and reading. I am very much looking forward to getting settled here at Vets4Pets and meeting all of your pets.

I have been working for Vets4Pets since February 2017. I have always had a huge interest in all animals and thoroughly enjoy spending time with them. Since working here I have done a Pet First Aid Training course to help triage our patients. I am also the practices Pet Protection squad Star, this involves me focusing on all our patients’ preventative healthcare and finding ways we can improve. I hope to train as a Veterinary Nurse in the near future. My favourite thing to do day to day is meet all our lovely clients and their precious animals. I tend to steal them for a little while for a cuddle. I have 3 dogs at home and a rabbit, who I swear is a dog trapped in a rabbit’s body. In my spare time I love spending time with my family and friends and fun days out. My 4 pets tend to keep me busy when I’m not working.

I joined the Vets4Pets team in May 2018 to pursue my career in working with animals. I have a diploma in animal behaviour and welfare, which I studied at Chester University, this covered a vast array of animal handling and husbandry over a variety of animals. I have always had an interest in working with animals and enjoy meeting the amazing companions that are brought to the surgery on a daily basis. At home I am a proud father of two. My family also extends to two lovable Jack Russell’s, Mia and Tess, two guinea pigs and a large 450L tropical aquarium, all of which keep me very busy.
