I am a Registered Veterinary Nurse and have been working at Abbey vets for 12 years. I started nursing 15 years ago and have been qualified for 13 years. I am responsible for nurse clinics and specialise in Diabetc and weight clinics. My main nursing passion is with our feline patients and this is an area I devote a lot of my time towards, I enjoy my job as it is varied and no two days are the same. I enjoy interacting with the clients and seeing our patients go home happy. I have two cats ‘Dimmy’ and ‘Delilah’ both of who I rescued. ‘Dimmy’ has dietary intolerances, which alongside his asthma and pollen allergies makes him a challenging pet to care for and also allows me to be on top of any new foods available which helps with my diet clinics. I also have two Guinea Pigs ‘Tulip’ and ‘Mollie’. Outside of work I am a Guider with 5th Abergavenny Guides, I find voulenteering with the Guide association as it is very rewarding and enjoy the challenges working with a varitey of ages brings!

I have worked in practice since 2002 originally as a nursing assistant then proceeding with my nursing training and qualified as a registered veterinary nurse in 2007.

I especially enjoying nursing of complex medical and emergency cases. Out of work I foster dogs for Hope Rescue alongside having my own dogs, cat and horse.

I have been in veterinary practice since May 2008, qualifying as a Veterinary Nurse in November 2012.

I am currently studying a veterinary nursing degree at Harper Adams University. I have been part of the Abbey Vets team since April and I’m loving every aspect of the job. I have always wanted to work with animals, and my interest in veterinary nursing developed when my dog was diagnosed with a platelet condition. From there, I got to see first-hand how varied the role of a veterinary nurse is, from monitoring patients to interacting with clients. I have three dogs Max, Wilma and Sidney. Outside of work I enjoy long mountain walks with Sid and I love spending time riding my horse or bringing on our ever growing herd of Section A ponies.I also have an interest in sheep so spend some of my time helping local farmers during lambing time.

I joined Abbey Vets in 2005 as Administrator, having previously been employed in various financial and administrative roles for more than 25 years. My current position of Finance Manager is an extremely wide-ranging role and the assortment of jobs that I undertake during a "day at the office" means that no two days are ever the same. This helps make my job more interesting and enjoyable, and I get a lot of job satisfaction from it. In my spare time I like to relax and spend time with my family. I love cats and have two of my own at home, who like to keep me company in the evenings while I am relaxing after a hard day at work.

I qualified as a Veterinary Nurse at Langford Veterinary School in 1991. I joined Abbey Veterinary Centres as Head Nurse in 1994.

My role in Tredegar surgery is anything and everything; from handling animals to answering the phone. I am also PDSA administrator and am the H R Manager for the practice.

I have been involved with the veterinary profession for over 12 years, mainly on reception. I have 3 cats at home, Andy, Oscar and Molly. I love being outdoors gardening or riding my friends horses.

I originally started working in Veterinary practice in 1992 and joined Abbey in 1999, training as a nurse. I now work as a receptionist at the Tredegar branch surgery and have over 14yrs service with Abbey Vets. I have recently added a new addition to my family, a 15wk old puppy called 'Ragna' who is ruling the roost at the moment. Ragna likes to come to work with me occasionally, especially as he has found a new friend in 'Louis' who belongs to Ysobel, one of our vets. My job brings lots of variety and no two days are the same, plus we have incredibly lovely and kind clientele and that's why I love working at Abbey Vets.

I also have two horses - Indie & Sox - and enjoy competing around the country with Indie who I bred myself.

Hi, I've been with Abbey vets since February 2016 as a receptionist in Abergavenny. My working life has mainly been in finance, so the change into being a receptionist and dealing with the public has been a delight.

You'll often find me in the sheep shed at lambing time!!

I am a busy mum of 2 teenagers with 8 years experience as a veterinary receptionist and I am lucky enough to combine my job with my passion for animals.

Hello, I am Sarah often known as 'Jiffy' (my nickname). I work on reception in our Abergavenny , Tredegar and Equine branches. Before working in our equine branch I was scared of horses but having spent time with them, I have secretly fallen in love with them (but don’t tell anyone!) I enjoy my job as I see a lot of different things every day. I enjoy talking to clients and spending time making sure they and their pets are happy in our care. I have an interest in Birds of Prey. I love to help when they come in to us and watch them in the wild. Walking is another passion of mine. I love to spend my spare time on the beach with 'William' my Labrador and my camera.

I first joined Abbey in 2007 as a part-time receptionist in Small Animal. Shortly after joining I joined the Equine team and have worked there ever since. Although I still love equine I have now returned to Small Animal for a new challenge, and I enjoy working across all of our branches. In 2016 I qualified as a 'Suitably Qualified Person' (E-SQP) for both Equine and Companion animals. Outside of work I enjoy horse riding and walking my 3 unruly sausage dogs.
