Meet the team
I qualified from the University of Bristol in 2003 with a degree in Veterinary Medicine and a degree in Zoology.
I have worked in a variety of large and small animal practices across Leicestershire since qualifying and worked with cats, dogs, rabbits, cows, horses, sheep, pigs, alpacas, guinea pigs, chinchillas, marmosets and lots of other creatures.
I started Loughborough Vets4Pets in 2013 and have greatly enjoyed working with the pets and people of Loughborough.
I enjoy being a general practitioner and dealing with all sorts of pets and their different ailments but I do have a lot of interest in treating skin and ear problems. I am also currently studying for further qualifications in soft tissue and orthopaedic surgery in order to offer more solutions for our patients without the need for referral.
Charlotte joined our team of Veterinary Surgeons in February 2018. Charlotte graduated from University of Nottingham in 2014 . Prior to starting her role at Loughborough Vets4Pets Charlotte has had previous small animal experience at other vet practices in the East Midlands. At home, Charlotte has a border collie called Beau and a horse called Gamble. Her outside interests include going for long walks with Beau, dining out and eventing her horse. Charlotte’s special interest at work is general medicine and what she enjoys most working at Loughborough Vets4Pets is working up cases and the contact with clients.
Andrew is the newest member of the Veterinary Surgeon team having joined the team in November 2018. Andrew graduated from University of Nottingham in 2018. Andrew enjoys travelling, and going back to Hong Kong when he can, to see his family and close friends. Andrew has a special interest in imagery and the investigation of medical cases. What he enjoys most about working at Loughborough Vets4Pets is working with, in his words, “a great Practice team” and seeing pets get better during and after treatment.
Sam studied veterinary nursing and practice management at Harper Adams University and qualified in 2008, and to date has had 14 years of experience working in veterinary practice. Sam has a special interest in emergency nursing and has worked to obtain her certificate in emergency and critical care. At home she has a dog called Millie and a cat named Bella (pictured). Outside of work she enjoys making the most of her time with her growing family as well as clay pigeon shooting and cinema trips.
Hannah started as a final year student with us in 2015 and qualified as an RVN in 2016 from Nottingham Trent University. She spent most of her first year of being qualified in the Clifton branch of Vets4Pets before returning to Loughborough Vets4Pets in April 2017. She particularly enjoys feline nursing and behaviour, cardiology, anaesthesia, and weight and diet management clinics. Hannah owns 2 ponies called Toffee and Stanley (pictured), and 4 cats – Pumpkin, a one-eyed stray that she rescued after being brought into the practice, and Todd, Elvis (pictured) and Ruby who she rescued and hand-reared as kittens. Most of her spare time is spent on the farm with the ponies, but she also has recently taken up archery, loves rock music and concerts, writes fiction novels and is a big fan of Marvel films and Game of Thrones. She also recently became a Clinical Coach for Bottle Green Training College, and so along with Tracey helps train student veterinary nurses in the practice and is currently mentoring Weronika.
Tracey has been part of the Loughborough Vets4Pets team since 2013, qualifying as a Registered Veterinary Nurse back in 2008 after studying her vet nursing diploma at Moulton College. She plays a major role in training student nurses at the practice, being a qualified assessor and one of the practice’s Clinical Coaches as well as an external Veterinary Nurse Examiner at Nottingham Trent University. She is currently mentoring our 3rd year student Georgia and will begin training our newest student Cerys later this year. Tracey is particularly interested in senior pet health and nursing clinics and is currently in the process of launching a ‘Puppy Pre-school’ clinic with 2nd year student Weronika. At home, Tracey has a border collie called Remy, 2 cats Oliver and Pixie, 4 guinea pigs and keeps tropical fish. Outside of the practice, she enjoys weekends away with family and long walks with Remy as well as music festivals and concerts.
Georgia is our newest qualified nurses at the practice, having just finished her third and final placement with us, and passed her exams in May 2019. She will be graduating with a degree at Nottingham Trent University later in the summer. Georgia has also been fortunate to have had a nursing placement at Twycross Zoo as part of her studies, where she was involved with the treatment of more exotic patients including monkeys, snakes and an otter! As well as exotic nursing, she also enjoys wound management. At home she has Merlin, a 7 year old cockerpoo, and enjoys spending time with her family, socialising and eating out.
Cerys is the most recent addition to our team, joining the practice as a trainee nurse and veterinary care assistant last month, but she has been a part of the Vets4Pets group for 1 and a half years as a receptionist at Oadby Vets4Pets and was previously a dog groomer. Her official nurse training is due to start in September this year. Although she is fairly new to the clinical side of practice, she says she is enjoying the new challenges it is presenting her. At home she has 3 dogs – Labrador siblings Betty and Ollie and Mac the schnoodle, which you can see are all sitting very beautifully to have their picture taken! She’s very outdoorsy and is currently in training for her first half marathon!
Weronika is one of two student veterinary nurses at our Practice, and she has been training at Loughborough Vets4Pets since 2015 through Bottle Green Training College. She is very passionate about animal welfare and a big advocate for rescuing and rehabilitating dogs, and has a particular interest in canine behaviour and emergency nursing. What she enjoys most about being at Loughborough Vets4Pets is providing inpatient care, conducting face-to-face consultations with our clients, and being involved in surgeries. Weronika lives with her fiancé and their 2 dogs – the very handsome Sid, a rescued Rottweiler, and Maddie, a Doberman crossbreed. She has also owned horses throughout most of her life. She loves outdoor adventures with the dogs, socialising, visiting family back in Poland, and is a fan of crime documentaries, horror films and Game of Thrones.
Lisa joined the reception and client care team as one of our Client Care Advisors in August 2017. Prior to this Lisa worked in customer care in the building trade. At home Lisa has four cats; Shelley, and Max, Paddy and Phoenix whom were strays brought into the Practice that Lisa adopted. Lisa enjoys spending time with her family and friends, and in the summer going down to Devon as much as she can to spend time in her caravan. What Lisa enjoys most about working at Loughborough Vets4Pets is building relationships with clients and their pets.
Chelsea is the newest member of the client care team having started her role in December 2017. At home Chelsea has two cats called Lynx and Peanut, and some tropical fish. Chelsea enjoys socialising with friends, watching films, old school gaming and going away on overnight fishing trips. The thing that Chelsea most enjoys about working at Loughborough Vets4Pets is the cuddles she gets with all the animals and meeting different types and breeds of pet.
Abbie has been with the client care team as an Advisor since July 2016. In addition to her reception duties Abbie has also been trained as a bereavement advisor with Blue Cross and Compassion Understood. At home Abbie has two rabbits called Alfie and Archie, and a cat called Ozzy. Abbie’s outside interests includes going to the cinema, retail therapy, dining out and going to pet shows. The thing that Abbie most enjoys about working at Loughborough Vets4Pets is meeting the pets as babies and then overtime seeing them grow and develop (and the cuddles!)
Linda is the most longstanding member of our reception and client care team, and has been a Client Care Advisor since December 2015. In addition to her reception duties, as part of her client care role Linda is the lead person in the provision of our insurance claims recovery service. Outside of work Linda has two dogs called Vera and Chester. Linda enjoys spending time with her grandchildren and being part of a dance group, who are currently rehearsing for their next show in September! The thing that Linda most enjoys about working at Loughborough Vets4Pets is being part of a caring team, and no two days are the same.
