Hi my name is Kaye, and I’ve been working at Mercia for 7 ½ years now. I initially started off working here whilst completing my one year Animal Nursing Assistant Course, and have been here ever since. I am currently on maternity leave. Although I have gained a lot of experience and respect for animal nursing; I have since moved more onto the reception and administration side; dealing with clients on a day to day basis, and all aspects of practice administration. I have two gorgeous but mischievous ginger girlie cats at home, and most importantly my 2 gorgeous boys Brandon and Tristan, who keep me busy when I am not in work! |

I joined Mercia's team in May 2012 and I'm the full time vet now. I've been a vet for 5 years ranging from working in industry to large and small animals practice. I live with my partner and Corky - a cat that I adopted from Mercia after she was brought over to us as a stray. I love hill walking, yoga and spending time with my friends. |
