Head Nurse

I qualified as a vet nurse in 2012 and joined the Parker and Crowther family July 2019 becoming Head nurse in January 2020. I have particular interests in nurse clinics (with a soft spot for the oldies), wound management, dentistry and physiotherapy. I have a collection of rescued cats and dogs and in my spare time love to read, travel and assist with charity work for Animal SOS Sri Lanka whom I've volunteered with on numerous occasions.

Veterinary Nurse

I enjoy using my knowledge to support our clients to help them, keep their pets happy and healthy. My commitment to helping pet's has helped me to change my career from being creative to healthcare, I first started working in the Television Industry, to Vet Nursing. I first worked on Brookside, then Hollyoaks, for the first 20 years of my career. I now spend my days doing a job I love and my contribution to the local community matters to me. I work with a great team of professionals and look forward to meeting you, if you need us.
