Orthopaedics

Hi my name is Sach, I was born and raised in London where I often spent my weekends volunteering in reptile dens. I studied in Nottingham where my time was split between Vet School and delivering pizzas for Dominos! I eventually settled down in my favourite part of the UK (Blyth) and I am privileged to have been welcomed into the Vets4Pets team in 2019.

As a vet I understand that you’re the expert when it comes to your pet, I see myself as the specialist in diagnosis and treatment, but working together we can ensure that your little one is always kept in tip-top condition. I love all creatures great and small but hold a special place in my heart for rabbits and reptiles. I also really enjoy internal medicine or any aspects of veterinary medicine that challenges me to put my 'thinking cap' on.

Outside of work I enjoy spending time on the beach with my wife and twin girls. I also love running and often take part in The Great North Run, marathons and other endurance events. I look forward to meeting you all soon!

My co-workers and I are incredibly passionate about caring for our patients. I decided to get into nursing after completing a Zoology BSc Hons; I loved learning animal biology but soon realised my greatest passion was working with and helping animals. So I took a leap onto a new career path and never looked back! I have sleepy whippet called Ralph and two cats called Sheldon and Cooper. Sheldon also has several pet fish that he's extremely fond of.

I joined the team here at Vets4Pets North Tyneside and Vets4Pets Morpeth in August 2017 alternating between both Practices.

At that time my main duties were working between reception and supporting the nursing team. Working out the back gave me the foundation and the dream to qualify as a Registered Veterinary Nurse. I am now very proud to be The deputy Head Nurse in practice.

I have joined an amazing team who all work well together and love to take care of Pets and their Owners.

At home I have two cats Tinkerbell and Spartacus (The Stalker) and Fly, my lunatic of a Border Collie who never seems to run out of energy & the adorable Eddie Jack Russel  I love walking through the Northumberland Countryside, walks on the beach, travelling when I can and spending time with my family and friends.
