Northampton Hospital Vets4Pets

I qualified with distinction in 1999 and have worked exclusively in small animal practice since then. Eventually I decided I wanted to run my own practice, so in 2009 opened Vets4Pets. I love seeing how the practice has grown, yet I pride myself on providing a first class personal service to each and every pet, no matter how large we get. In 2016 I gained my RCVS Advanced Practitioner qualification in Small Animal Practice - I am the only vet in Northamptonshire to have this qualification, and enables me to effectively lead the great team we have built up to deliver outstanding care for your pets. I love all aspects of veterinary life - from consulting to dealing with emergencies through to surgery, and like to get to know my patients and clients personally over the years that they come to us. I regularly act as an expert witness for the court in animal welfare and cruelty cases, and am involved in veterinary forensics.  In my spare time I'm kept busy with my two young sons, and our family help Dogs For Good to socialise and train puppies.  I look forward to welcoming you and your pet to our practice.

Hi I’m Rachel and I qualified in 2017 from the University of Nottingham and have been working at Vets4Pets Northampton ever since. I enjoy ultrasound imaging, surgery and love seeing patients through all of their time with us in the hospital, day or night. As the clinical lead vet I work to support our amazing team and to come up with better ways of working and improve our skills and protocols so that our patients get the best care possible. I also love mentoring new graduates to help teach our next generation of vets!

I have a border terrier called Albie and play the violin in a few orchestras and love climbing and walking in the Peak District!​

I qualified from Glasgow in 2014 and have enjoyed being in busy small animal practice since! I chose to work at Vets4Pets as they are a lovely team and as an advanced practioner in emergency and critical care I am able to use my skills for emergencies and overnight inpatient care. My particular areas of interest include feline medicine, dentistry and soft tissue surgery.  

Out of work I have lots of hobbies including horse riding and gymnastics! Family members include my partner, my horse and my cat! 

I graduated as a vet from the Royal Veterinary College in July 2018 and returned to Northampton to join the amazing team having spent a lot of time with them as a vet student. Whilst at university I did a BSc in Comparative Pathology (the study of disease) and came away with a degree, a deeper understanding of research and a published paper.

I love working with a team that is so passionate about helping our patients and providing an exceptional level of care. I enjoy all aspects of small animal practice, from consulting and meeting our clients and their lovely pets, to dealing with emergencies and critical cases. I particularly enjoy the challenge of our eye cases and ongoing medicine cases, such as diabetes. I have also spent some time volunteering in the Caribbean, working with a team to provide preventative healthcare, neutering the islands animals and deal with emergencies.

Outside of work I enjoy walking with the family spaniel Nelly, travelling and craft beer.​

I graduated from The University of Nottingham vet school in 2020. I have been a regular student at the Northampton practice for many years, first coming when I was at school before university. Back then, the practice was in its infancy compared to the great hospital we have now. I love working with such an enthusiastic, supportive team that will allow me to grow and develop my skills as a vet. I enjoy many aspects of veterinary medicine from meeting our clients and working up a case through from start to finish, all the way to emergencies and soft tissue surgery. Outside of work I can often be found following my favourite football team, seeing friends or running to try keep fit(ish).

I joined the practice in January 2021 having relocated to Northamptonshire from Yorkshire. I graduated in 2016 and enjoy consulting the most because I gets to meet clients and their pets. I have an Anatolian shepherd called Layla. 

Hi, I'm Francesca originally from Italy. I graduated in 2015 from Camerino University. I joined Vets4Pets in March 2022, and from the first day I enjoy the familiar atmosphere in this hospital. 

Working with very professional team and affectionate clients allow me to improve my skills. I am a member of the European Veterinary Society for Small Animal Reproduction and have a special interest in Canine Reproduction. I also enjoy ultrasound and soft tissue surgery.  

In my spare time a love to cook for my husband and friends, gardening and DIY. On my holidays, I love travel abroad. 

I’m Marise and I graduated from Nottingham University in 2015. Since then I have primarily worked for a busy charity hospital in Leicester while establishing good relationships with various local private practices as a locum. While I enjoy all aspects of veterinary medicine and surgery, my main interest lies in emergency work. I have recently completed a certificate of advanced veterinary practice in this area with modules including anaesthesia and critical care. I am very much looking forward to the case continuity that working for a 24-hour hospital provides, especially for the most critical patients, and being able to utilize the advanced equipment the practice has invested in to investigate cases to a high standard.

Outside of work I can usually be found on adventures with my rescue Lurcher, Tia, horse riding, bouldering or spending time with friends (and most likely their dogs too!)

Hi, my name is Maisie and I graduated from the University of Bristol in 2023. During this time I also intercalated and gained a degree in Zoology. From a young age I knew I wanted to be a vet and I am now living that dream! I feel so fortunate to work with such a supportive and enthusiastic team that help me develop and thrive every day. I enjoy all aspects of veterinary practice, from consulting and meeting you and your pets, to helping to deal with emergencies. I particularly enjoy soft tissue surgery and I am excited to develop my skills.

Outside of work I enjoy running, meeting up with my family and friends, planning weekends away, and spending time with my three cats, Rosy, Ralph and Barney!

I am from Lisbon, Portugal and am a 2018 graduate from the University of Barcelona, Spain. As a student, I gained experience with small animals and horses during externships in the UK, Spain and Germany. During my final year of university I travelled to the US for my final year clinical rotation at Texas A&M University. I completed a rotating internship at the University of Liverpool equine hospital where my main interest was research, teaching, surgery and ophthalmology. Shortly after completing the internship in Liverpool, I moved to America where I performed an equine surgical internship and an ophthalmology internship. When back in the UK I worked in 3 different Vets4Pets hospitals as an emergency veterinary surgeon. Outside of work, I spend my time hanging out with friends and family while staying active in several sports. One of my main passions is learning languages and traveling around the world experiencing the various cultures. My main clinical interest is veterinary ophthalmology. I am currently studying small animal ophthalmology with the BSAVA.

Hello, I joined the practice as Lead Clinical Nurse in November 2023. Previously I was Head Medical Nurse in a Referral Practice and after 30 years decided it was time for a new challenge bringing my years of experience to this amazing practice.

I am hoping to complete a post graduate certificate in Advanced Surgical Veterinary Nursing soon.

I just recently joined the team in September, however I have had 14 years experience in various hospitals round the UK. I absolutely love inpatient and critical care nursing, no two days or cases are the same. 

At home I have 3 dogs, a cat, a horse, a daughter and a husband so life outside of work is pretty busy!

I qualified as a registered veterinary nurse in 2016, however I have actually worked within general practice for over 12 years and joined the team here at Vets4Pets Northampton in 2023. 

My passion with nursing lies within caring for exotic species and inpatients, however since joining Vets4Pets Northampton I am developing a greater love for all other areas including consults, and anaesthesia.

I really enjoy my time working in the kennel areas, caring for both the day patients and hospitalised inpatients, but have also found both wound care and nutrition quite interesting. In my spare time, you will either find me in my kitchen baking sweet treats and cakes, or out on walks with my parent’s springer spaniel, Luna, but I cannot wait to find a rescue dog to call my own sometime in the future!

I have been working with Vets4pets since May 2023 and qualified in 2014. I am loving the challenge of providing OOH care for our inpatients and helping keep them recover and stay comfortable.
