Newark Vets4Pets

Sarah qualified in 2002 from Glasgow veterinary college. Having worked in a couple of smaller practices, she settled at a larger hospital practice in Lincoln where she spent 13 years becoming a strong all-round small animal vet, and developing her skills in both surgical and medical cases.

In 2018 she successfully completed a certificate in general practice, which had taken three years to complete, and was also involved with introducing laparoscopic surgery to the practice. In 2019 she took on the position of joint clinical director for two years, alongside the existing clinical director.

Sarah joined Vets4Pets Newark in May 2021, where she has primarily been working as the sole vet, however is now part of an exciting, expanding team.

Outside of work she is married with two children, and an over enthusiastic Labrador who thankfully shares her love of running.

Having worked in the veterinary industry since 2014 and qualifying as a Registered Veterinary Nurse (RVN) in 2017, I have gained experience from a variety of small animal and mixed practices. I have been at Vets4Pets Newark since the day it opened in March 2018, with the exception of a brief spell at a different branch. I have loved seeing the practice grow from day one, to where we are now. It is lovely seeing the familiar faces of our clients who are sharing our journey with us.

At home, I have a daughter, a Labrador and a feisty feline who all keep me very busy in my 'spare' time. There's always an adventure to be had with those three. If I manage to catch a second to myself, I love to play netball, have a catch up and gossip with my friends and, of course, enjoy a sofa day with some chocolate and a good box-set!
In practice, my main interests are medical nursing, pharmacology, nutrition, tabby cats & of course, Labradors! I plan to study further qualifications in these interest areas to increase my knowledge to share with all of our clients - so watch this space!

I joined the veterinary world in 2013 as a trainee nurse and qualified in 2019. My particular interests are feline welfare and wildlife, having completed a Feline Nursing certificate in 2016 and being extensively involved with a hedgehog rescue for a couple of years. I also worked in Emergency and Critical care for a year which gave me an invaluable experience clinically through a wide range of cases.

In my spare time I love gardening, growing veg on our allotment and spending time with my partner, our dog Bernard, our four cats; Rudy, Salem, Rufus and Luna, our tortoise; Mrs Walter and our two chickens; Phyliss and Gertrude.

Hi, my name is Kirsty. I joined Vets4Pets Newark in January 2022 as a VCA having previously worked at an out-of-hours practice. I love working in the veterinary field and enjoy all the daily challenges my role brings due to everyday being so different.

I’m Emma, one of the Client Care Advisers here at the Newark Vets4Pets Practice. I’m new to the practice and team and it’s already become a special place to be; not only working alongside a great enthusiastic team but meeting clients (existing & new) with their precious animals on a daily basis. I absolutely love the interaction and communication that comes along with this job role. 

Every day is different from helping clients bringing their pets in for operations to first  vaccinations on kittens/puppies, to having a tiny hamster brought in to be examined by our vet.   I have learnt so much already about animals and caring for them. I can honestly say I’m in a job where I get the best of both worlds. I can’t count the amounts of times each day I must say “argh, how cute!”

I’m Ellie, one of the Client Care Advisors here at Vets4Pets Newark. I have two dogs (Badger and Gin) and two horses (Hugo and Lola). In my spare time, I like to complete in one-day events with my horses. I love working at Vets4Pets because of the lovely team, all of the great clients I meet and of course, all of the lovely animals we meet.
