Emily qualified from the Royal Veterinary College in 2010 and joined Animed in March 2018. Emily enjoys working as a general practitioner and also has completed an additional certificate in ophthalmology. As an Official Veterinarian, Emily is authorised to issue pet passports and complete export health certificates.

Cora graduated with honours from the Royal Veterinary College in 2018 and joined Animed Vets shortly after. She enjoys all aspects of veterinary work, with a particular interest in medicine cases. Cora likes being in general practice and will always be looking out for training which will help to hone her skills and add depth to her knowledge of better animal care. Cora looks back fondly to the days when she was a "foster parent" with SPCA Hong Kong and helped to look after sickly dogs and puppies, with 13 dogs to her credit. For now, she has to be satisfied with watching her little fighter fish, Hooch, play. Outside of work, she enjoys playing video games, trying out new recipes in her kitchen and dancing.

Caroline qualified from the Royal Veterinary College in 1982, and was employed as a small animal vet at the Wickham hospital just after qualifying. She is founder member of Animed Veterinary Group, becoming a junior partner before the practice was sold to CVS in 2008. Caroline has remained a small animal GP based at the hospital at Shedfield.

John qualified, with honours, from the University of Bristol in 2010, and has worked in small animal practice ever since. He worked at Animed Vets for seven years, and after a brief year away, he rejoined the team in 2018 because he missed it so much! John enjoys all aspects of veterinary work, but has a particular interest in internal medicine and critical care cases. This led him to complete the RCVS Certificate in Advanced Veterinary Practice (CertAVP) in Small Animal Medicine, followed by the CertAVP in Emergency & Critical Care. Outside of work, John enjoys spending time with his two dogs, a Whippet called William and a Patterdale Terrier called Martha, looking after his rare breed tortoises, going to the theatre, and also teaching gym classes as a qualified Les Mills Bodypump instructor.

Steph graduated with honours from Bristol University in 2009 and joined us in March 2010; having observed practice with us as a vet student she knew Animed was a place she would enjoy working and allow her to work to her high clinical standards. Steph is mainly based at our Cowplain branch clinic, where she truly enjoys being an ‘all rounder’, though her area of particular interest is complex medical cases. Steph has two geriatric house rabbits, both of whom were rescues and is passionate about rabbit health and welfare. Outside of work you’ll find Steph playing basketball, listening to live music or enjoying the great outdoors.

Anna qualified from Liverpool University in 2008 and worked in mixed practice for six years before deciding to focus solely on small animal work. Anna joined the team at Animed after relocating from a practice in Salisbury where she completed her certificate in Advanced Veterinary Practice. Anna enjoys all aspects of practice but is particularly interested in surgery. In her spare time, she is a keen sailor and also plays the cello.

Charlotte graduated, with honours, from the Royal Veterinary College in 2012 and joined Animed Vets shortly after. Having completed regular placements with us as a vet student she knew she would enjoy working here and has been with us ever since. You can now find her at our Locksheath branch on Wednesdays and Thursdays where she has been based since 2014. Charlotte thoroughly enjoys all aspects of the veterinary role from getting to know the clients and the animals that own them, to surgery, which she particularly enjoys. Outside of work she is kept very busy with one small human and two rescue cats, with any spare time spent going to the gym, running along the beach, kayaking or simply with a cup of tea and a good book.

Marc is currently working towards a further advanced qualification in emergency, critical care and anaesthesia. He enjoys all aspects of veterinary work, particularly soft tissue surgery and critical care work. His spare time is spent pandering to his cat Ryan and pottering around in the garden.
