Emily Smart

Head Veterinary Nurse

I have been with this practice since 2011 and graduated with a Level 3 Diploma in Veterinary Nursing. Throughout childhood, having grown up on a small-holding, I have been surrounded by a menagerie of animals since I was 2 years old. To this day, I still own very small pets to very large pets - I own a lizard, chickens, a pigeon, cats, dogs, a goat and a horse! I have a keen interest in medical nursing and inpatient care and am currently working through a certificate in exotic nursing.

Student Veterinary Nurse

I'm Becca, a third year Student Veterinary Nurse here at Wem. I have worked with Medivet since November 2019 where I began my journey as a mobile Patient Care Assistant, before becoming a permanent member of staff between the Wem and Whitchurch practices. My favourite part of the job is anaesthesia and nursing consults and hope to further increase my knowledge in these areas. I'm known at work as the 'crazy cat lady' with three felines of my own at home. In addition to these fur babies I have a black lab puppy called Percy and two miniature Shetland ponies. In my spare time I enjoy swimming and nice walks with the dog.

Karen Southward

Veterinary Nurse

I began my career with a degree in Technical Theatre and a role in the entertainment industry, but my lifelong dream of making a difference in animals’ lives led me to retrain as a Registered Veterinary Nurse (RVN), qualifying in 2018. In practice, I have a particular passion for emergency and inpatient care, pain management, and supporting senior patients. I’m also a dedicated advocate for rabbit welfare — a cause close to my heart. At home, I live with my husband and our two elderly house rabbits, who remind me daily why I do what I do. Outside of work, I love hill climbing and exploring everything the countryside has to offer. I also enjoy arts and crafts, which give me a creative outlet and a peaceful balance to my busy clinical life.

Jozie Neslon

Practice Manager

Hello I'm Jozie. I recently joined Medivet Wem and Medivet Whitchurch after returning from maternity leave. I've been working in the Veterinary field for around nine years and started my career as a Student Veterinary Nurse in a small mixed practice in Wales. Since joining Medivet I've worked my way up from being a Registered Veterinary Nurse to Head Nurse, and now Practice Manager. The best thing about my role is I get to support two really fantastic teams and meet the wonderful patients and clients they care for (also the pet snuggles). I'm really passionate about Veterinary Nurse progression, Mental Health in the Veterinary field, Neurodiversity and Customer care. Having worked closely with Cats Protection and rescue Greyhounds in a previous role, I have a special place in my heart for these fur babies so you will often see me in the reception when any "Snuffle Hounds or Pusskins" come visiting. At home I have three mini humans, a very messy husband, two cats - Gary and Kitten, two axolotls - Toothless and Star, a leopard gecko called Yellow and a dog called Maggie AKA " Flop dog". Say hello next time you're in - I love meeting all of your fur babies.

We have had a different vet each time we've visited over the last year, and therefore none of them have a relationship with us, nor do they know our pet. We have had different and conflicting advice, and have been told that a blood test is essential to a continuing prescription, whereas all that is actually required is to be seen and assessed by a vet ... your prices for consultations and meds are too high and it seems as though you require tests that are not strictly necessary. There are some actions you could take to make your practice more accessible.

It was nice experience to see that the vet did not want to force us to pay more for unnecessary vaccinations. Good advice and value for money. Very happy with the service.

My dog is terrified of visiting the Vet. However, all the staff at Medivet are very understanding and supportive. They make a fuss of my dog and adapt to accommodate her. I would definitely recommend this practice
