Wolverhampton Vets4Pets

I became a vet quite simply because I love animals. After five years at the Edinburgh Vet School I graduated in 1990 and joined a mixed veterinary practice for four years dealing with cats, dogs, horses and farm animals. During in this time I gained certification in Radiology. In 1994 I took up a position as resident in a Small Animal Surgery at Glasgow Vet School for two years and gained certification in Soft Tissue and Orthopaedic Surgery in cats and dogs. In 1996 I returned to work in practice at a large vets in Leicester and for the last ten years have been the lead referral surgeon in their hospital, accepting referrals from within the practice and from other vets in Leicestershire and the Midlands. Outside work my interests include walking my dog Sam, spending time with my family and astronomy and astrophysics. Worried that with age my brain might give up the ghost I started a degree in astrophysics from the Open University and graduated in 2009. I am excited to become a Joint Venture Partner because it gives me a chance to be my own boss and set the standards of care that I would expect for my own dog Sam, a 7 and a half year old black Labrador.

Kate qualified from the University of Nottingham in 2014 and has worked in small animal practice ever since. Kate joined Vets4Pets Wolverhampton in 2018, and is currently working towards her Certificate in Advanced Veterinary Practice. Outside of work Kate spends most of her time with her animals; Korky the horse, Jarvis the dog and Albert the cat!

I qualified as a vet in Italy in 2005, then moved to the UK. I worked in various practices through locum work and that is where I first found Vets4Pets Wolverhampton and ended up taking a permanent part-time position there in 2015. My interests include various aspects of small animal work.

Tom graduated from the university college, Dublin in June 2017, he joined the practice soon afterwards and has been working with the team since. He has 2 cats and 2 dogs (1 of which lives back in Ireland). Interests include socialising, playing for a local GAA club and walking with his adopted dog Floyd.

I have worked in practice for 9 years, 6 of those as a qualified nurse. I qualified with a degree in Veterinary Nursing in 2013 and since then have undergone additional study in areas such as nutrition and pharmacy.

My favourite parts of my job are nurse clinics and inpatient care. I have a Labrador cross poodle called Merlin who in my spare time I enjoy walking. 

I'm a student veterinary nurse and have been working in practice for 5 years. In my spare time I enjoy going for walks with my dogs spud and Oscar aswell as going on long hacks with my horse Shillaylee, I also have a rescue cat called Ted. I always knew I wanted to work with animals from a young age so I completed both my level two and level 3 diploma's in animal management before starting my career as a Veterinary Nurse.

Hannah has worked in various small animal practices across the west midlands for over 14 years, and qualified as a veterinary nurse 9 years ago.  She has recently completed the ISFM advanced certificate in feline behaviour with distinction.  When not at work she enjoys spending time with her family and daughter.

I have worked in veterinary practice for nearly 4 years, first as a nursing assistant then as a student veterinary nurse. I have already achieved my level 3 animal management diploma and I am now halfway through my student nurse training. My favourite parts of practice include lab work, inpatient care and working with exotics. In my free time I enjoy spending time with my family and my 3 dogs Bruno, Tricksie and Lucky.

I qualified as a Veterinary Nurse is 1972 and worked for a large referral hospital in Leicester as a Head Veterinary Nurse for over 20 years. During this time I trained many students, I also lectured in radiography at a local college. I then decided to retire to enjoy my three granddaughters and Labrador Sam. Due to missing contact with clients and pets, I decided to return to work as a veterinary receptionist. In my spare time I enjoy crosswords, gardening and decorating.

After leaving school went on to work on a Welsh Cob stud and have now worked for Vets4pets since they first opened in Wolverhampton in 2014

I'm married to my long suffering husband Jon and have 2 amazing grown up children and 2 adorable grandaughters who I have driven crazy over tbe years with my obsession of Rock and indie music.

We have 2 other Giant babies who are shown in the photo Bodie and Matilda whom we spend most of our spare time being kept on our toes being at their beck and call.

I have worked with Vets4Pets since 2016. When I am not at work, I'm kept very busy by my 17 animals which range from dogs and cats, to birds and horses. If I get any spare time, I enjoy reading and going for long walks.

After leaving school I went to City of Wolverhampton College where I gained an NVQ in Business Administration. I worked in this field for 13 years before taking a long break to be a full time mum.  I returned to work in customer service and worked on the delicatessen counter of a local supermarket for 4 years, and as a doctors receptionist/secretary for just over 3 years when I left in March 2019 and joined the Vets 4 Pets family.
