I started working at the practice in October 1999 and qualified as a Veterinary Nurse in June 2007. Later that year, I left the practice to work for another veterinary group but returned in 2009. I became deputy head nurse in October 2009 and acting head nurse in April 2012. My pets include a cat called Spike and a dog called Harry.

Danielle

I began working at the Midland Veterinary Surgery in 1998 and qualified as a Veterinary Nurse in 2003. I have been the head nurse here since July 2003 until taking maternity leave in April 2012. Recently, I have developed an interest in dog behaviour and completed a diploma course in dog training and behaviour. I have two cats and one Staffordshire bull terrier called Monty.

Leanne

I have worked at the Midland Veterinary Surgery since February 2001 having previously worked in a quarantine kennel for a year. I qualified as a Veterinary Nurse in 2005 and I completed my studies for a diploma in dog training in 2007. I became the deputy head nurse in 2008 until I took maternity leave in October 2009 and have worked part-time when I returned to work in August 2012. We have two cats called Koda and Prudence.

Joanne

I originally started work as a receptionist at the practice in 2000 having previously worked at a boarding and quarantine kennels. In 2002, I studied for my preliminary nursing examinations and in 2008, I completed my final qualifications as a Veterinary Nurse. I own a cat called  Nelly.

Darlene

I began working at the practice in 1988, qualified as a Veterinary Nurse in 1994 and became a National Vocational Qualification assessor in 2002. Following maternity leave in 1998, I now work part time and spend much of this time assessing veterinary nursing students. I look after two dogs, three cats, one tortoise, two daughters and a husband.

Jassy

After working for another local veterinary practice for several years, I joined the Midland Veterinary Surgery in 1999. I qualified as a Veterinary Nurse in 1998 and I’m currently studying the Hill’s Nutritional Advisor level 2 course. I have three cats called Ralph, Blossum and Mitten, and a tortoise called Timmy.

Vicky

Having worked in the office at a local college, I found that working with animals was an exciting change. I have been at the Midland Veterinary Surgery since March 2008 and recently passed the first year exams in my training to become a veterinary nurse. I have owned a whole menagerie of pets and now look after three cats, three dogs and several fish.

Lucy

I began working at the Midland Veterinary Surgery in April 2009 after doing some voluntary work at the Celia Hammond Animal Trust. In 2011, I passed the first year exams in my training to become a veterinary nurse. I have owned many pets in the past and I am now looking after a very energetic Staffordshire bull terrier called Raymondo.

Hannah

I have worked at the Midland Veterinary Surgery since March 2011. Prior to that, I spent two years studying full-time for the National Diploma in Animal Management at Capel Manor College in North London. I have always wanted to work with animals and hope to fulfil my ambition and start training as a veterinary nurse in 2012. I have owned goldfish in the past but now look after a very sweet but independent cat called Baby.
