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 been in veterinary practice since May 2008, qualifying as a Veterinary Nurse in November 2012. I have been with Abbey Vets since April 2017 and will usually be found in our lovely Brecon branch. Having previously been in mixed practice, I am now enjoying focussing on just the small animals and have a particular intrest in emergency work and imaging. I am a keen runner and compete regularly in cross country and athletics. I also own an ex-racehorse called Reggie and a Lab x Collie called Poppy, so my spare time is mostly spent rushing around trying to keep us all fit!

Hi, my name is Zoe Banks and I am a qualified RVN. I am the regular nurse in the Tredegar practice and I am from Ebbw Vale. I enjoy spending time with my Labrador 'Murphey' and cat 'Budley'. I plan to continue my development as a RVN and build on my knowledge further.

I am a Veterinary Nurse. My passion in life has always been my animals and I spend most of my time looking after my mini menagerie at home. I love the great outdoors and enjoy walking with my dogs. My hobbies also include playing squash and cooking. I'm known to have a sweet tooth!

I am a qualified Veterinary Nursing Assistant and have been with the team in Monmouth since May 2015. I enjoy running with my black lab and spending time with my two small children.

I am currently studying a veterinary nursing degree at University of South Wales. I have recently completed my 12 week placement at Abbey Vets Tredegar and continue to work as a receptionist/SVN until I begin my third year placement in Abergavenny. I have three chihuahuas; Poppy, Lilly and Ozzy and a horse called Dewi.

I graduated from Hartpury University in October 2019 having completed my degree in Veterinary Nursing Science. After doing my placement year with Abbey, I was delighted to have been offered a job within the Nursing team and go back to where I had trained. Two years on and I am still enjoying the day to day challenges where no two days are the same, from minor emergencies to the more extreme cases that come into practice. I really enjoy in-patient care and nursing poorly pets back to good health; being reunited with their owners. More recently I have developed interests in lab and also radiography and hope to do some specialised courses in the near future. In my spare time when I’m not in my scrubs, I like to spend time with family and friends. I enjoy walking in the local countryside and taking my camera along; especially with the company of my two excitable dogs Henry the Bullmastiff and Vinnie the Border Terrier.

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. Several years later I accepted responsibility as sole nurse at our branch surgeries. After taking a break to start my family I returned here in 2008 as receptionist and am now the Pet Insurance Administrator. In my spare time I enjoy Body Combat and cycling with my family.

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 have been working at the practice for 3 years, firstly with Beacons and now Abbey. I am a farmers wife with 3 children. My main interests include singing, cake decorating and working on the farm.

I have worked in various roles in this veterinary practice in Brecon for over twenty years. At home I have a lurcher and a horse which I enjoy spending time with. We enjoy going hill walking. I am a fluent Welsh speaker. R'wyf yn siarad cymraeg.

I qualified as a veterinary nurse in 1994 and after many years in this role, I am now a part time receptionist at our Monmouth surgery. I am passionate about helping rescued pets to have a second chance and have had 2 fantastic rescue dogs of my own; Hollie, a lurcher cross and Pippin, a border collie. Not forgetting Dandelion and Burdock my adorable guinea pig brothers!

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.

Hello i'm Kate. I qualified as a veterinary nurse in 2000 whilst working at Abbey vets in Abergavenny and am very happy to be back working as a receptionist in Brecon and occasionally in Abergavenny and Tredegar. I'm very fortunate to live on a farm with my three dogs, three cats and a small flock of sheep. I'm kept busy with caring for my animals and farm work. 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. I live in the beautiful Forest of Dean, which I explore every day with my bonkers Spaniel Tess. I also enjoy reading thrillers, keeping fit and family time.

I graduated from Hartpury College and became a Registered Veterinary nurse in 2017. I joined the lovely Abbey Vets team in January 2018 as an RVN. Having begun my veterinary nursing career as an equine vet nurse I have since transferred my skills to small animals and I really enjoyed the new challenges (and puppy cuddles) that come with smallies! After a short time away from Abbey Vets I returned in October 2019 as Practice Manager. This role combines my enjoyment of management with the veterinary industry and I still get to help out with the occasional cesarean as an added bonus!! Outside of work I can usually be found rockclimbing, trail running or fast asleep in front of the fire with my ginger cat Ron.
