Head Veterinary Nurse

BSc (Hons) PGCert AVN

Read Sarah Magee bio

Sarah has been an on and off member of the team since early 2019 whilst studying a veterinary nursing degree at Anglia Ruskin University. After qualifying as an RVN she has become a permanent member of the team as of 2021 and loves all aspects of veterinary nursing. She has completed extra studying and certificates in veterinary dental care and surgical nursing, and at the end of 2022 is starting a master's in advanced veterinary nursing to gain more knowledge. 

She loves meeting and chatting to clients and taking care of their furry companions (and not so furry) when they aren't feeling well whilst also providing emotional support to their owners. 

Sarah is a cat lover and has her own cat called Sushi who was her first hand rear, and a new addition a kitten called Oni who was also hand reared by Sarah. This love of cats has encouraged her to complete a certificate in feline nursing with ISFM. Whilst she loves all things furry she also has a crested gecko called Stitch and looks forward to increasing her knowledge in the care and treatment of exotics in the future.
