Poole Vets4Pets

I qualified at Liverpool University in 1997. After a couple of years working on the Wirral I relocated to Dorset and worked in several local practices. In 2003 I took the plunge and opened my own practice on Ashley Road and 14 years later am very proud of the quality service offered by the whole team at Poole Vets4Pets. I have over 20 years’ experience in veterinary medicine and my special interests include skin conditions and all types of surgery. I live locally with my vet husband, two young children, a black Labrador and two extremely fluffy rescue cats from Margaret Green Animal Rescue.

Hello! My name is Tori and I joined Vets4Pets in October 2016. I graduated from the Royal Veterinary College in 2011 and have been working in small animal practice ever since. My professional interests include internal medicine, imaging, clinical nutrition and dentistry. I have a teeny tiny dog called Maya who comes to work with me every day and I really enjoy taking her for walks along the beach and around Bournemouth. I am an active member of my local church and I also love running, cross-training and swimming. I balance my love of exercise with a healthy love of baking and I keep my colleagues supplied with freshly baked goodies as much as possible!.

I began working in veterinary practice in 2002, and I qualified and registered as a Veterinary Nurse in 2008. I started working at Vets4Pets in 2014. I enjoy all aspects of nursing, but have particular interest in surgical, medical and critical care nursing. In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with my family, and am kept very busy looking after my two children. I have a cat called Harry, who is notorious amongst my colleagues for being quite a feisty character! 

I joined the practice when it first opened in 2003. I have 3 Shetland Sheepdogs which I compete in agility and have competed at many major finals such as Cruft’s and Olympia. I have a particular interest in dog training and behaviour. I now work part time as I have 2 small children too!

I have been nursing since 2012 alongside a lovely team of colleagues, and recently qualified as a Registered Veterinary Nurse in July 2017. I have a keen interest in medical nursing and emergency and critical care. Both give me one on one time with patients and enable me to get to know more about the patient’s personalities and personal quirks whilst in the hospital with us. I love being able to provide care to patients enabling me to observe their personal improvements overtime. I have a Staffordshire Bull Terrier called Kano who enjoys a fuss with lots of kisses and long cuddles

Since starting work in veterinary practice in 2014, I have had the opportunity to work in an out of hours hospital and a referral practice. After qualifying as a Registered Veterinary Nurse in 2018 and joining Vets4Pets in 2019, I have been able to continue learning about what veterinary nurses are capable of doing. I particularly enjoy teaching Student Veterinary Nurses in my role as a clinical coach and performing Schedule 3 surgical procedures. I also have a keen interest in rabbit welfare. Outside of work I enjoy spending time at the beach and practising yoga.  

I started working for Vets4Pets in June 2017 as an animal care assistant and receptionist. I love being part of the team here and am really enjoying my training to become a veterinary nurse in the future. I enjoy meeting all of our lovely clients and building relationships with them all and their pets. I am originally from Kent and have also lived in Australia prior to starting here. Outside of work my hobbies include playing football and exploring the Jurassic Coast.

I joined Vets4Pets in June 2017 after volunteering for 2 years in the veterinary industry as I decided to pursue a career in veterinary nursing. In August 2017 I became a qualified Animal Nursing Assistant after studying for a year at the Lynwood School of Veterinary Nursing. In my spare time, I enjoy walking my 3 dogs at the beach and wildlife photography.

I joined Vets4Pets in February 2019, having worked as an animal care assistant in out-of-hours practices for 3 years. I love all aspects of nursing but particularly enjoy taking care of inpatients. Outside of work I enjoy horse-riding and taking care of my very loud Indian Ringneck parrot Riley.

I am the Practice Manager and have worked here since 2014. I started as an Animal Care Assistant and love being in a practice surrounded by such a great team and an environment where every day is different. I previously graduated with a degree in Psychology and have completed a Level 3 Leadership and Management qualification specifically relating to the veterinary industry. I have a beautiful Ragdoll cat called Margot who is very spoilt!

I have worked at this practice since 2008 and I qualified as a veterinary nurse in
2012. I now work mainly on reception which I thoroughly enjoy as I get to meet all of
our clients and their pets. I have my own little dog Alfie, who is now 8 years old.

I joined the Vets4Pets team in March 2019, having worked in administration for over 20 years. Since then I have loved meeting everyone’s pets and getting to know our clients, as well as being able to be involved in all aspects of the veterinary field. Outside of work I enjoy baking and walks with my son Oliver. Being part of such a friendly & supportive team is rewarding and I look forward to welcoming you to the practice in the near future

I joined the Vets4Pets team in November 2019, I previously had my own cleaning business for 11 years. Since starting work at Vets4Pets I have really enjoyed meeting our clients and their pets. I have a family dog called Teddy, he is a very loveable and cuddly Toy Cockapoo.
