Veterinary nurses

Amy graduated with a BSc (Hons) in Veterinary Nursing and Practice Management in 2014 after being inspired by school work experience in a practice. She joined the team in 2021 as Head Veterinary Nurse and while she loves all aspects of the profession her passion lies in anaesthesia. Amy has recently undertaken additional training in minor surgical procedures and is looking forward to providing our vets further surgical assistance.

In her spare time, Amy likes to travel and spend time with her beautiful cocker spaniel puppy, Fern.

Lauren studied veterinary nursing at Abbeydale and qualified in 2018 before joining the team in 2020. Lauren was promoted to Senior Nurse in May 2022.
