Sarah Smyth
Veterinary Surgeon

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.

Pamela is a registered Veterinary Nurse and has been qualified since 2005. She lives in Whitehead with her family which includes two Cavalier King Charles Spaniels called Binky and Nigel, a very opinionated tabby cat called Sherlock and two rabbits called Princess Jasmine and Whiff. Since qualifying in 2005 she has worked as an RVN in mixed practice, a charity small animal vets and in an emergency and critical care clinic.

Meet Zoe, one of our Registered Veterinary Nurses.

Niamh has worked here since 2020 as a student veterinary nurse after completing her work experience here a few years prior and is hoping to start her veterinary nursing qualification at the end of 2025.
Niamh has a keen interest in both consultations and surgical nursing which she hopes to further gain knowledge in once she has qualified.
Niamh has a bouncy Labrador and a cat so considers herself both a dog and a cat person and always looks forward to meeting any of our patients and comforting them when they feel poorly.
