Nadine Smith

Veterinary Surgeon
I have been working for Spring Lodge since 2008. In March 2009 the Chelmsford centre joined our group of practices, and I became the main vet there. I am an ‘all-rounder’, enjoying surgery as well as consultations.
I have two cats (Riff Raff and Magenta) who love cuddling up on the settee, and unfortunately excel at catching very large moths and bringing them through the cat flap!’

Vici

Veterinary Nurse
I joined Spring Lodge in Oct 2006.  I have been nursing since 2001 and qualified as a Veterinary Nurse in 2005.  I have been the Senior Veterinary Nurse at our Chelmsford branch for just over a year.  My main responsibilities are assisting in the day to day running of the practice, organising the waiting room and consultation room displays and running nurse clinics.  In Nov 2009 I became a Pet Health Councillor so I am able to offer good help and advice to our clients pets.  I am also now a Clinical Coach and assist with the training of the student nurses at the Witham hospital.
 
At home I have a 7 year old rescue cat called Monty and a very lively Springer Spaniel called Caitlyn.
