This month is Veterinary Nurse awareness month. We have an amazing team of nurses here at Masefield. We are now a team of 6 fully qualified RVNS, all with different passions and interests. This allows all aspects of nursing to be carried out with outstanding care and knowledge.
1st up is..... Head Nurse Katy. Katy started at the practice in October 2018. She has a very keen interest in neonatal care and canine behaviour. She has just achieved her Level 4 in canine behaviour. Katy loves gundog training and anything spaniel. She currently shares her home with 5 dogs, ducks, a cat and 2 horses.
Next up is Jen. Jen started work at the practice as a student in 2013! She qualified and gained experience with Masefield, moving practice to then work closer to home but came back to Masefield in 2021!! Jens favourite part of nursing is caring for our feline friends and putting her certificate in feline behaviour to use. Jen lives at home with her partner and her little boy. They have 2 dogs and a cat. Jen can be found baking, crafting or chasing her little boy round the woods with the dogs!
Next is Abi! Abi has worked at the practice since August 2021. Abi came to us as a student and went onto qualify with us in 2022. She loves a rescue, and will always be happy to help any animal if needed. Abi has three rescue pets herself, a rabbit, bearded dragon and a dog which keep her busy. Abi enjoys all aspects of her job, she does however have a very keen interest in traveling ... watch this space! Abi can be often found walking her crazy fun spaniel, baking and crafting.
Hannah is our latest member of the nursing team, starting with us in September 2025. Hannah has settled into the team tremendously and is a very loved team member. Hannah enjoys surgical nursing and is currently studying towards her schedule 3 in surgical nursing. She is a dedicated gym member and loves to travel.
Jess started at the practice in August 2023. Jess started as student and then later graduated in 2025. Jess thrives off diagnostic imaging such as radiography and ultrasonography, she also enjoys a lab case such as bloods and having a look at things under the microscope. Jess enjoys being part of her small holding and looks after an array of animals, at the moment she currently has alpacas, goats, sheep, ducks, chickens, horses and dogs!
Issy started as a student at Masefield in 2018 going on to qualify in 2020, she did many years full time but now is down to one day a week. This is so she can fit in her busy chaotic lifestyle! Issy is a fully qualified veterinary physio and is currently at Bristol vet school. If that isn't enough to keep her busy she also has 2 young children and can often be found riding her horse or walking her 3 dogs.
