Medivet Adlington

Maria Kotsidou

Veterinary Surgeon

I graduated as a veterinary surgeon in 2020 from the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki in Greece. After working for a few months in a small animal practice in Greece I decided to move to the UK to experience something new . I have been working for Medivet for almost two years now mostly between three branches, one of them being Standish. I have an interest in internal medicine and ultrasonography.

Nicky Burrows

Veterinary Nurse

Nicky has been at Tyldesley Vets since we opened in September 2000, she also assisted in the opening of our Adlington and Standish branches and now splits her time between all 3 branches. She qualified in 1999 after doing her training at Myerscough College. She is our head nurse and is also in charge of the insurance paperwork. She has a Jack Russell, Rosie, who comes to work with her every day. Nicky has a keen interest in horse riding and has two horses, Josh and Meg, whom she competes with most weekends.

Gemma Lister

Student Veterinary Nurse

Gemma joined us from our grooming salon at Bents Garden Centre. She has recently completed her apprentice veterinary care assistant training with us and is now confident in practice. In her spare time she enjoys spending time with her family and beautiful German Pointer, Riley

Zophia Jones

Practice Manager

Zophia spends most of her time managing the practice and our wonderful team. Keeping everything running smoothly is more than a full time job, and on top of this Zophia is always looking for ways in which we can exceed our clients' expectations. Most of Zophia's time is spent behind the scenes supporting our team, and complements the veterinary staff. She particularly likes the diversity and challenges that occur daily, and helping owners and their companions. Outside of work Zophia is just as busy with her three boys, two dogs and cat. Unsurprisingly, the animals are easier to deal with.
