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!

In addition to carrying out a full portfolio of nursing responsibilities, our Registered Veterinary Nurse Rachael also holds the responsibility of Lab Supervisor in practice. If your pet has had blood or urine tests with us, and these have been processed on site, you’ll appreciate the speed with which samples have been analysed, results shared and any necessary treatment commenced. Rachael has the important role of ensuring everything is in place to make this happen.
Lab Supervisor responsibilities include quality checks on equipment, troubleshooting any technical issues and liaising with supplier support teams, maintaining slide and cassette stock, ensuring lab hygiene levels are maintained, allocating results to patient records, training new team on how to use our machines … and more!
With new analyser machines installed last year at the culmination of our internal expansion project, we’re able to run an even wider profile of blood and urine tests in house, so Rachael’s role is more important than ever in helping pets and their owners to get speedy results!

Veterinary Nursing Awareness Month (which we’re rolling into June), isn’t just about celebrating the role of qualified nurses. It’s also about raising awareness around what the job can entail and championing students currently working towards a career in veterinary nursing. Our student nurse Isobel initially started at 387 Vets volunteering for a day a week whilst studying for an Animal Management Diploma to gain course-required practical experience in an animal-related environment. Three years later, she has just completed the second year of her Level 3 Veterinary Nursing Diploma and, after the summer, will be starting to prepare for her oral Professional Discussion with an industry panel and final practical examinations (OSCEs) to become a Registered Veterinary Nurse! What have been the highlights so far?
“I loved starting in kennels and on cat ward to really get to know the inpatient role properly before moving into other areas in practice. I have had lots of opportunity to take clinics and feel competent running nurse consults. Learning anaesthetics under supervision has been really interesting, and I particularly love seeing pets going through the whole journey now from admit to discharge, and being an active part in it all. It’s like piecing the whole jigsaw together.”
The time has flown! We look forward to supporting Isobel in the exciting months aheads!

We’re really passionate about supporting veterinary clinicians of the future, offering experience opportunities for school, mature and vet students as well as being a registered Training Practice for student veterinary nurses. Isabel first came to us back in April 2023, volunteering one day a week to see what life is like behind the scenes in veterinary practice. Holder of an Animal Care and Management Diploma and a Foundation Zoo Animal and Conservation Management Degree, Isabel knew she wanted to work with animals and we were delighted when she decided she would like to train to become a veterinary nurse with us. The first year of an apprenticeship in practice is very much kennels and ward-based. Now in the second year of her Level 3 Veterinary Nursing Diploma, Isabel is shadowing nurse consultations and will soon be going more regularly into theatre to learn about pre-op patient preparation as well as patient care, monitoring and observations under anaesthesia. We are loving watching your skills and abilities grow, Isabel, and are excited about supporting you in this more clinically involved next stage of your course, on your way to becoming a Registered Veterinary Nurse!
