Joe Elliott

Veterinary Surgeon

Hi, I'm Joe! I qualified from the University of Nottingham in 2020 and have worked at Medivet Chorley since October 2021. I have a passion for surgery, and can perform both advanced soft tissue and orthopaedic procedures. I am also doing a further qualification in small animal surgery. In my spare time I enjoy watching sports, going to the gym, and long walks with my Border Collie Storm.

Elizabeth Joseph

Veterinary Surgeon

After completing my post graduate degree in Veterinary Medicine from Kerala, India, I moved to U.K. and received my MRCVS in 2005. Since then I have been working as a small animal vet initially in Birmingham, then in the North West and finally settled in Medivet Chorley in 2018. I enjoy all aspects of small animal work with interest in both medicine and surgery equally. Outside of work, I enjoy fell walking, gardening, a bit of baking, watching movies and spending time with my family and friends . I grew up with lots of animals back home in India. Currently, I have some beautiful Koi carps in my garden pond, but over the years, I had two beloved cats; Kitkat and Caramel and some beautiful canaries and finches too. I believe in the strong bond between human and animal and by helping an animal, helping a human too.

Veterinary Surgeon

Hi I’m Alison. I qualified as a vet from Glasgow University in 1991. I started in mixed practice at Hillcrest Chorley at the old Eaves Lane site! I then did a residency in feline medicine and a PhD in feline respiratory disease at Liverpool University before returning to general practice. I have spent most of my working life in veterinary practice in the North-West except for a couple of years in the pharmaceutical industry and a short period working in Australia. I returned to the Chorley practice in August 2023 where I work part-time. My particular areas of interest are internal medicine and feline shelter medicine. In my spare time I am a trustee and vet for Woodlands Animal Sanctuary, a charity in Holmeswood, Lancashire which focusses on cat rescue; I also enjoy gardening and spending time with my family and elderly Border Terrier!

Night Veterinary Surgeon

Hi, I'm Lucy and I'm one of the night vets at Chorley Medivet. I graduated from the University of Nottingham in 2021 and have been working in small animal practice since. My favourite part of the job is seeing patients that I've cared for go home to their owners after being unwell. Outside of work I enjoy hiking with my 2 dogs and rock climbing.

We went out of hours on Saturday evening. They nurse on duty took us in straight away. She was friendly and professional. She examined our cat. We opted for blood tests and a steroid injection. Even though she did advise us our cat was very sick (thought to have bone lukemia). Unfortunately, she passed away Sunday morning.

Generally we have a great experience with the vets when we go. The actually care of our animals is excellent that the vets have been nothing but amazing. The main issue we have had recently is the delays at the front desk. There were long lines and very long waits for medications. We are happy to wait but it kind of sounded like a couple of staff members were having a long drawn out conversation while we were waiting. Another person in the queue mentioned that they had waited for nearly 30 minutes before leaving and returning.

Generally very poor service and only used based on convenient location. Inconsistent approach to pet treatment. Lack of communication between individual vets when for treatment plans. Extremely poor communication with regard to informing customer of test results, treatments etc. Issue incorrect and contradictory treatment instructions. The only time they excel is when a complaint is raised and then they can’t do enough for you. Would I use them again…. If my other vets can’t give me the appointment I need - probably, but that would be purely to ensure our pets get needed medical attention and certainly not based on them providing an excellent service.
