Hannah joined our practice in 2017 and is currently studying towards a level three diploma in veterinary nursing with hopes to soon become a qualified veterinary nurse. She has a particular interest in surgical procedures and expanding her knowledge in emergency care. Hannah has four ferrets which she rescued from the practice, which are very friendly and playful. Hannah also has a few hobbies outside of work such as mountain biking and hiking.


Fiona Donaghy
Animal Nursing Assistant
Fiona has worked at the surgery since 2006, completing her animal nursing assistant qualification in early 2016. Having been an animal lover all her life, she always knew she wanted to work with them and kept fish, hamsters and rabbits as a child and now has two cats, Clara and Phoebe and a gerbil, Reginald D. Gerbil. She is keenly interested in the important role of nutrition in maintaining animal’s day to day health, and helps to run the nurse clinics. Outside of work Fiona enjoys taking her daughter on day trips to farms and encouraging her love of animals and meeting up with friends.


Steven Jones
Animal Nursing Assistant
Steven joined the team in February 2018 after having worked in veterinary practice for 17 years. He has always had a passion for animals and from a young age began bringing all sorts of waifs and strays home to stay much to his mother’s disbelief! Away from work he enjoys spending time with his horses and competing in show jumping. He has a little Jack Russell Terrier, Robin, who also goes to Steven’s shows and can usually be found tagging along with him wherever he goes.
