Maree Broadhead, BSc, VN - Senior Nurse

I joined Hird and Partners a year ago to complete my nurse training, where I recently gained my RCVS level 3 qualification. I have now graduated with a BSc in Veterinary Nursing from Hartpury College in Gloucester. Veterinary nursing has always been the career I have wanted and I thoroughly enjoy all aspects of nursing. When I am not working I am at home looking after my own animals, which include three horses, four dogs and many chickens!

I started as a trainee vet nurse in 1997, and qualified in 2001. A few years later I joined Hird and Partners, based at Halifax. I left the practice to go travelling, and have now returned as the nurse at our Ripponden branch. My main responsibilities are overseeing the smooth running of the surgery, carrying out all nursing duties and running a successful weight management clinic. I find my career very rewarding and enjoyable. In my spare time I love to scuba dive and play underwater hockey.

 

 

 

 

 

The Hird and Partners Team

We have a dedicated team of twelve veterinary surgeons, who are complimented by an extensive support team of nurses, receptionists and administrative staff.

Our veterinary surgeons are divided into Large Animal and Small Animal fields. This means that our clients can be assured that the vet attending to their animal is dedicated to treating that species.

Our dedicated and trained nursing staff are here to care for our in patients and we offer free nurse out patient clinics to clients with pets, providing guidance and advice and special offers.

Our friendly, caring team of receptionists are ready to welcome clients and their animals and deal with any enquiries.
