Meet the team
Rachel qualified from the University of Edinburgh in 1999 with a Bachelor of Veterinary Medicine and Surgery and has worked in small animal practice in the south-east of London ever since, apart from a year in 2006 spent teaching Veterinary Medicine at a University in central China. Rachel loves being a vet and enjoys being able to make a difference to the well being of animals and the families they belong to.
Rachel enjoys all aspects of Veterinary Medicine and Surgery and has a wealth of experience gained over the years which, combined with her teaching experience, allows her to support the rest of the team well. Rachel has special interests in ultrasonography, cardiology and exotic animal medicine, and she is very happy to be working with such a capable and caring team here. Outside work, Rachel enjoys spending her free time with her husband, two young children and kitten Lea, swimming and walking.
Kate qualified from the University of Agricultural Veterinary Faculty, Latvia in 2008 and has been working in small animal practices since then.
She loves all aspects of her work, and is particularly interested in surgery. Outside of work Kate enjoys travelling the world, photography and gardening. She has 2 cats: a male Bengal called Leopold, and a female Savannah called Manutin (both pictured). Kate loves meeting all our clients and their pets!
Imanol is originally from the South of Spain and qualified in July 2020 from University UCH CEU in Valencia (the sunny land where paella comes from!) He has previously worked as a mobile veterinary surgeon in several small animal practices and a veterinary hospital around Berkshire.
Imanol enjoys both veterinary medicine and surgery but has a particular interest in internal medicine and diagnostic imaging.
Outside of work, he enjoys spending time outdoors (especially when he’s in Spain with his dog Thor!), he loves travelling and keeping active and this year he’s training to run a marathon!

Leigh joined us in 2017 after graduating from the Royal Veterinary College with a BSc (hons) degree in Veterinary nursing. Shortly after this she became our head nurse and now leads our nursing team.
Since being at Old Kent Road Leigh has developed a particular interest in anaesthesia and emergency and critical care. Having recently gained a certificate in anaesthesia, Leigh spends a lot of her time with our surgical patients.
Leigh also enjoys teaching and training and so plays an important role in the training and development of our student veterinary nurses as a clinical coach and supervisor.
Outside of work Leigh can often be found baking or out for a walk with her Labrador Sonny.
Melody qualified in 2017 after completing an apprenticeship to become a Registered Veterinary Nurse. As well as being a valued member of our nursing team, Melody also recently became our clinical administrator.
Melody enjoys all aspects of nursing and owns an array of pets including guinea pigs, hamsters, a cat, and even has a budgie!
Kelly joined us in June 2020 originally as a member of our reception team. She soon moved on to beginning her training to become a Veterinary Nurse in January 2021.
Since working with us, Kelly has adopted a cat called Thom who was handed into us as stray who you can see pictured! Outside of work, Kelly enjoys photography and can often be seen taking her Lurcher, Todd, on adventures around London.
Having previously studied Veterinary Nursing at university, she soon decided to study an apprenticeship with us and is now one of our Student Veterinary Nurses.
Rozy's favourite part of the job is seeing sick animals get better, and of course giving them cuddles! At home, Rozy has a pet cat called Bueno, and in her spare time enjoys picnicking and bike rides around London.
Georgia joined us in May 2022 after realising her love for animals, and has her own dog at home, Buddy, who is a husky.
Outside of work, she enjoys watching Netflix and can most likely to be found spending time with her niece and nephew.
Currently studying Psychology at university, Sydney joined our team to satisfy her other love in life: animals.
Outside of work, you would find Sydney at home looking after her two cats, Jasmine and Margot, her cocker spaniel, Monroe, and her African Grey Parrot, Stanley!
