It’s the end of Veterinary Nurse Awareness Month, and Amy has been taking a moment to appreciate the different parts of her role that matter most to her....

A big one is infection control, which I help manage day to day. It’s often behind the scenes, but it underpins everything we do — from maintaining clean, safe clinical spaces to making sure protocols are followed so our patients have the best chance to recover without added risk. It’s detail-focused work, but it makes a real difference.

Alongside that, I also really value my time in anaesthesia and inpatient care — being closely involved in patient monitoring and supporting them through recovery.

Veterinary nursing is full of variety, and that’s what makes it so meaningful. Every part connects back to the same goal: giving our patients the safest, kindest care we can.

Meet Michelle....
I’ve spent over 10 years in veterinary nursing, mainly splitting my time between nurse clinics and the in house laboratory. I enjoy the variety — from hands-on patient care to the more behind-the-scenes work that helps pets be happy and healthy.

I’ve also developed a bit of a soft spot for cats, especially senior ones and visit Shropshire Cat Rescue every week to help look after the cats in their care.😻

Being a veterinary nurse means so much to me, Owen. My role involves organising laparoscopic bitch spays and coordinating orthopaedic procedures with our external surgeons, as well as carrying out post-operative assessments to help make sure our patients recover as smoothly as possible.
I’ve also got a bit of a soft spot for anaesthesia and X-rays—there’s something very satisfying about a smooth, stable anaesthetic and getting that perfect radiograph (even if I do spend a little too long checking both 👀).

Supporting patients through their recovery and rehabilitation after surgery—helping them regain comfort, confidence, and mobility is one of the most rewarding parts of the job.

I’m really proud to be a veterinary nurse and grateful to work alongside such a dedicated team every day!

Exercising in temps over 20 degrees can be a risk to fit healthy dogs, much lower for elderly, obese, flat-faced or large breed dogs 🌡️🔥

Stay safe and enjoy the glorious weather 🌞

My name is Rachel and I am Deputy Head Nurse here at Quarry. I have worked as a Veterinary Nurse for over 30 years. Alongside being a Registered Veterinary Nurse (RVN) I also have a certificate in Emergency and Critical Care (CertVNECC) and a Nursing Certificate in Anaesthesia (Ncert(AnaesthNsg).

I undertook these extra qualifications as I have a special interest in these areas of clinical work. I spend a lot of time in the ‘dental suite’ preparing anaesthesia plans for some of our most challenging patients requiring dental work. Dental patients can often be very elderly and have other problems such as diabetes or kidney disease or, very young where temperature control and glucose monitoring are important.

Whilst we never like to see patients who have had traumatic injuries from road traffic accidents or attacks by other dogs for example, I find treating these patients very rewarding. These are often the most sick and unstable patients and making them comfortable and nursing them through to discharge is one of the best parts of my job.

I have been doing this job for a very long time and no matter what comes in through the door the other nurses always joke that I’ll say ‘it’s not my first rodeo!’ but I learn something new every day from my patients and my colleagues and, as veterinary medicine evolves, there is always something new to learn.
