The Practice Nurses - Andy, Emma, Ben and Barry
The practice has three full time veterinary nurses; Andy and Emma who are our Registered Veterinary Nurses and Ben who is training to become a veterinary nurse. We also have Barry who is an animal nursing assistant. Their duties throughout the day involve nursing our patients through illness and post-operative recovery, monitoring anaesthesia during surgery and assisting the vets with radiography and other diagnostic procedures. They are also responsible for various other nursing duties such as preparing surgical instruments and kits for sterilisation, cleaning as well as carrying out nurse health checks and nurse clinics.
Receptionists
The practice has five receptionists, Carla, Esther, Sue, Lynne and Hollie who do various shifts throughout the week including Saturday mornings. They are our clients' first point of contact to the practice and are crucial to the smooth running of the day by making appointments, booking operations and coordinating the message book for the vets' messages. They are able to offer advice about worm and flea prevention, dietary and weight control advice and are available to answer any queries you might have about your pet’s health.
