I have an Undergraduate Degree in Bioveterinary Science from the Royal Veterinary College and a Postgradute degree in Veterinary Medicine from the University of Veterinary Medicine and Pharmacy, in Kosice, Slovakia. While achieving my degrees I worked for the RSPCA for six years as an Animal Care Assistant and Veterinary Support Staff. While studying I developed an interest in both Ophthalmic and Orthopaedic surgery. I'm a self-professed film buff, and enjoy both TV and film as well as video games. I also enjoy going on long adventures over the fields with my dog.

Student Veterinary Nurse

Lucy has been part of the Medivet team since 2018, dedicating herself to improving the lives of animals through compassionate care and advocacy. She has always had a long-standing love for birds, especially pigeons. Over the years, she has hand-raised and released many, and pigeons remain her favourite due to their intelligence and social nature. Unfortunately, they’re often misunderstood and unfairly labelled as dirty or unintelligent, despite having played important roles in human history. At home, Lucy cares for several rescue pigeons who free-fly around the house wearing their own custom-made diapers. Outside of caring for her beloved menagerie, she enjoys travelling, photography, and swimming.

I've been a Client Care Assistant since 2024, and love getting to know both our clients and their pets. My strength lies in creating a welcoming, friendly atmosphere and ensuring everyone feels cared for from the moment they walk through the door. Outside of work, I enjoy reading, baking, travelling, and spending time with my family. I'm also a proud supporter of Millwall FC. At home, I'm kept company by my nine-year- old cockapoo, Humphrey, who's very much part of the family.

Hi, I’m Grace and I work as a Veterinary Care Assistant (VCA) at Medivet South Woodham Ferrers. I’ve always loved animals and feel really lucky to have a job where I get to care for them every day. Looking after people’s pets and helping them feel safe and comfortable is something I really care about. Outside of work I have plenty of animals of my own, so my love for animals definitely carries on at home too. I also have a big love for horses. Being able to work with and care for animals every day is what makes the job so rewarding for me.

I always enjoy seeing the staff at the practice. They have maintained a consistently high standard of service which has been objective and supportive. I've appreciated the longer opening hours during the week and weekend as it means I can manage my cats appointments around work more quickly. I've also found online booking helpful and easy.

The care and empathy is second to none. You can tell that every single staff member really cares about your pets. They’ve been there through some really difficult moments with my cats but I’ve genuinely felt like they love each and every animal as if it were their own ❤️
