Head Nurse

Leeann qualified as a veterinary nurse in 2004 while working in a busy small animal practice. She was appointed head nurse and gained her clinical coach qualification a few years later. Leeann joined Albavet in 2006, and gained her advanced certificate with distinction in companion animal behaviour in 2011. Over the next few years she hopes to study for a certificate in anaesthesia and continue to work as Albavet’s resident behaviour and training adviser which is where her passion lies. At home Leeann has a Tortoiseshell cat called Tango who is always up to mischief and keeps her on her toes.

Senior Nurse

Janette joined Albavet in 2004 to pursue her dream as a veterinary nurse after working many years as a podiatrist. She qualified in October 2008 and became a registered veterinary nurse. Janette enjoys all aspects of her job, especially nurse clinics and offering support and advice on preventative and life stage healthcare. Her passion is cats, and she has a special interest in their wellbeing having two senior ones at home called George and Tia. Janette enjoys the bond that she has with the patients and clients. Being able to offer care and comfort in both good and difficult times is satisfying and the reason she joined the profession.
