Veterinary nurses

Danielle has been a veterinary nurse since 2008 and joined the team at Orchard in March 2012. She has recently come back from maternity leave after having her daughter, who takes up a lot of her spare time but she enjoys every second of it. Danielle is very keen in animal behaviour and has achieved her ambition of making Orchard a registered Cat Friendly Practice. She is our Cat Advocate and maintains our feline friendly clinic.

Marie joined the practice in May 2007 and finished her nursing qualification here. She has had many pets in the past including goats and sheep. Due to moving to the city, she now enjoys the company of her pet stick insects. Marie works part-time as she also has two young sons to look after.

Anne started veterinary nursing in 1996 at a small animal practice in Nottingham, finally qualifying as a veterinary nurse in 2003. She has a passion for exotics, especially rabbits, having completed her City & Guilds certificate in the nursing of exotic species in 2015. At home Anne has two Chihuahuas as well as two ancient cats and a hamster.
