Vicky joined us in August 2022 as Senior Theatre Nurse. She has been a qualified Veterinary Nurse since 2000 and holds a certificate in anaesthesia. In her spare time Vicky enjoys going to the cinema and spending time with her husband and two children.

Alison has been with us since 1999! She started here as a brand new trainee nurse and qualified in 2001. Alison has been our Head Nurse now for six years. An avid football supporter with a particular penchant for Derby County and Tonbridge Angels.

Chloe joined us in October 2012 as an Animal Nursing Assistant and then as a Student Veterinary Nurse. She qualified as an RVN in 2017. Chloe enjoys cake making (making some amazing and absolutely delicious cakes for staff birthdays) and spending time with her husband and three young children.

Chloe joined the Priory Lodge team in January 2022. She has four years of experience as a Patient Care Assistant at a veterinary practice in Paddock Wood and has started her training to become a qualified veterinary nurse. In her spare time Chloe enjoys reading, listening to music and playing with her two dogs.

Liv has been here since September 2022 as an Animal Nursing Assistant. Liv came to us with 3 years experience of a local veterinary referral centre and is hoping to eventually train here to become a vet nurse. In her spare time Liv likes to spend time with her gorgeous staffy and her two parrots.

Freya has a background in hospitality.  She started with us last year coming from our Sevenoaks OOH, so has learnt to cope with the challenges of a busy veterinary environment.  Freya is excited about starting her nurse training next month.  In her spare time Freya likes drawing and painting.  Her favourite film character is Toothless from How to train your dragon.

Simone has been with us since February this year – with a background working with horses.  Simone aspires to train to be a vet nurse and who knows maybe one day may return to an equine environment?  In her spare time Simone loves gardening and has recently built her own vegetable patch – she is particularly proud of finally producing a decent sized carrot! Her favourite film is Spirit Stallion of the Cimarron.

Abi started here in May last year.  With a  background in care and alpaca farming, Abi has now decided to make a career of vet nursing with a particular interest in physiotherapy and particularly hydrotherapy.  Abi’s biggest achievement to date is joining our team!  (those were her words).  In her spare time Abi likes to drink coffee, read and she regularly goes to the gym.  Abi loves Marvel films which is why it is surprising that her favourite film is Mamma Mia.
