July has been a big month for team news! This week, our vet Olga had her last day in practice before going on maternity leave. We held a lunch for Olga earlier in the month to wish her well for the exciting adventure ahead in welcoming a new person into her family. We can’t wait to meet little one and have lots of baby cuddles! At the same lunch, we very sadly said goodbye to our Registered Veterinary Nurse Renée as she has decided not to return to work after maternity leave and to look after her beautiful family full time. Renée joined the practice in 2019 and, in addition to her general nursing duties, has held several additional responsibilities over the years including Radiation Protection Supervisor, Controlled Drugs Supervisor and Clinical Coach. Thank you Renée, for all your hard work and investment in team and practice. We will miss you, and hope you will continue to pop into practice to keep in touch and say hi!

We’re delighted to welcome veterinary surgeon Kathryn Carder to the 387 Veterinary Centre & West Midlands Cat Clinic team. Kathryn qualified from Bristol University in 2010, and in 2013, took up Head Vet position at a new small animal practice run by a Midlands-based veterinary group. In this role, Kathryn has been sole charge vet, running vet consultations and carrying out a diverse range of operations whilst building a strong client base and overseeing team and practice efficiencies. In 2016, Kathryn also completed a 3-year Certificate in Exotic Animals, and guided her practice to Rabbit Friendly Practice Certification.
Kathryn actually locumed at 387 Vets many years ago, and was a former colleague of Carlos’s and three of our registered veterinary nurses, so arrived at her interview with excellent credentials! We’re very excited that Kathryn is now a permanent member of our team!

We were very sad to say goodbye to Sian on Friday. Sian has been at 387 Veterinary Centre & The West Midlands Cat Clinic as a student veterinary nurse for the past 3 years and we have loved supporting her through her Level 3 Veterinary Nursing Diploma and watching her skills and confidence grow. We were delighted for her when she passed her qualification in May. Unfortunately we don’t currently have the capacity to take on an additional qualified veterinary nurse which has meant that Sian has had to look for her first qualified veterinary nursing position elsewhere. We are sure she will be a huge success in her new job which she starts today! Thank you, Sian, for all your hard work and investment in the practice. We look forward to hearing how your first week has gone when we meet up with you on Saturday for a team evening out!

We’re delighted to welcome Amy Hardy who joined the 387 team as a new student nurse just last week. Amy is no stranger to the veterinary industry. Her previous job was working for five years as a veterinary receptionist in small animal practice in the West Midlands. Great with client care, Amy also loved meeting everyone’s pets and, looking to expand her skills portfolio, was keen to move into nursing, helping and observing the nursing team as much as she could. Amy’s passion and determination to become a veterinary nurse was clear at her interview for our student nurse vacancy and she’s already doing a brilliant job on wards. She’ll soon be starting to help on reception on Saturdays and at other times as needed, so do say hello when you’re next in!
