Meet the Team

Hello, I'm Constantin or 'Dinu', and I graduated in 1996 from the Veterinary Medicine Faculty in Bucharest.  I have worked in Romania for many years, including owning my own practice; before deciding to move to the UK in 2019.  I am currently studying towards the OVQ(V)-CA certification, which will enable me to perform Animal Health Certificates for traveling pets.  I regularly work at our Great Houghton branch and Brindley Way Hospital.  

Hello, I'm Semih and I qualified as a Veterinary Surgeon from Uludag University, Turkey, in 2016.  I have been working in the UK since 2021 and have recently joined the team at Chantry Vets. I primarily work between the Wakefield surgery and the Brindley Way Hospital. Nurse consults main image please change to new image. The image with the nurse hold the Guinea pig is fine to be kept!

Hello my name is Jenny, I am a Registered Veterinary Nurse & the Practice Co-Ordinator at The Veterinary Surgery. 

I started my Vet nurse journey in 2000 and over time I qualified as a Registered Veterinary Nurse. I joined The Veterinary Surgery as a Registered Veterinary Nurse in July 2015. After showing an interest in the management side of things I then got the position as practice coordinator in Jan 2018. I now do a mixed role which I enjoy, overseeing the smooth running of this branch, as well as providing nurse support.

In my spare time I like to socialise with family and friends.

Hello, I'm Nadine and I qualified in 1993 from Berkshire College of Agriculture.  I have previously worked as a Head Nurse in a practice with a large equine surgical caseload, and have also worked in mixed practice.  I later spent 30 years working for the University of Sheffield as a clinical research assistant.  When I'm not at work I train and work Large Munsterlander gundogs.

I qualified as a RVN in 2001 and after working at my previous employment for 18yrs,  I joined the Great Houghton team, initially as maternity cover. I now enjoy doing administrative tasks that are required by the practice which in turn also helps our practice co ordinator with the work load. I still do my nurse consults and help out the back on operating days. Outside of work, I have a hard work westie  (!) and 2 rescued Shetland ponies that give me the run around. I also enjoy baking and craft work which keeps me busy.

Hello, I'm Charlotte and I work as a Veterinary Care Assistant, primarily at our Great Houghton branch.  I am also one of the practice's Wellbeing Champions, looking after our entire team. I graduated in 2022 with a Bachelor's Degree in Animal Management and Science. I am a member of the British Veterinary Reception Association and hold the Competent Veterinary Dispenser Award. I have recently completed additional training in bereavement support, so I can further assist our clients at this difficult time. At home, I have a cat called Olive, and I have experience caring for reptiles and dogs too. I enjoy spending my spare time perfecting my baking recipes, which I test on my fellow colleagues!
