Meet the team
Graduated from Bristol University in 2007. My first job was in a large hospital on the edge of the New Forest. The main workload was in the small animal hospital, but I also regularly saw the larger animals; horses, cattle, sheep and pigs out in the New Forest.
My main interests, however, always lay with domestic pets so I moved to work solely in small animal practice. I enjoy the wide range of medical and surgical interests that small animal practice brings, but have a particular interest in Cardiology.
I believe in offering good quality veterinary care. I also believe that this involves two main aspects. Firstly, the best clinical care and advice and secondly I feel that it is very important that you, as pet owners, also have a good understanding of what we, as vets, are trying to do. With these two approaches to your pets' problems I believe that we can offer the best care for your pets.
When not at the practice I am a keen sportsman, with hockey being my main sport in the winter. I have played up at Reading hockey club for the last few years. I also enjoy DIY and carpentry, although (as my brothers will attest to) the production line can be a little slow for carpentry based presents!!
Dr Izzy Pryce
Veterinary Surgeon
MRCVS
I have been a qualified registered veterinary nurse for 11 years and love every aspect of my job. I have worked in a busy first opinion practice and also in a large veterinary hospital. Although I enjoy using my skills in all areas of patient care, I particularly enjoy being in the surgical theatre. I have a passion to provide the highest level of care to our patients whatever the reason for their visit. Spending time getting to know our clients and their pets and having the opportunity to pass on the most up to date information to help you provide great care for your pets in something I find very rewarding.
In my spare time I enjoy seeing my family and friends, pottering around the garden and cycling in the countryside. My husband and I are keen travellers and enjoy spending time going on as many trips around the world as we can.
I have worked at the Winnersh practice since 2020 and started my Veterinary Nurse apprenticeship in January 2021. I am thoroughly loving every minute of learning on the job and meeting the wide variety of patients that come in every day. My main interests are helping with diagnostic procedures, surgical nursing and working with small furries. I especially love all things rat related!
Before I joined Companion Care, I completed a degree in Music and Sound Production. However I wanted a more rewarding career helping animals. Once I complete my apprenticeship I plan to start an advanced programme in small mammal nursing.
At home I spend most of my time with my 10 rats and two Burmese cats Violet and Casper! My hobbies include watching anime and travelling. My favourite trip was a month in Japan in 2019 and I can’t wait to go back and practice my Japanese.
I graduated as an RVN from the Royal Veterinary College in 2022 and started permanently at Companion Care Winnersh in 2024, after experiencing referral hospitals and different first opinion practices as a locum.
I am passionate about providing animals with the best standard of care and promoting fear-free vet visits. As a result, I am the practice's Cat Advocate after achieving the ISFM Cat Friendly silver award and I am working on achieving a dog friendly status too.
I spend my time outside of work with Cockapoo Arlo, Labradors Juno and Nika and my 2 rabbits Willow and Wilbur.
I started at Companion Care Winnersh in September 2021 as a Veterinary Care Assistant on the weekends. I joined the practice full time as a Student Veterinary Nurse in July 2022. I've always wanted to work with animals since I was very young and I've managed to accomplish that goal.
I'm excited to see what the future holds at Companion Care with my training to become a Registered Veterinary Nurse!
At home I have a Beagle called Cooper who I love to spend all my time with. I also enjoy spending time with my friends and family and going out. I also love travelling abroad as much as I can.
Ewa Borawska
Student Veterinary Nurse
I am currently studying Level 3 Animal Management at BCA and I am really enjoying all the practical experience that I am getting, from handling ferrets to trimming alpaca's nails! I also enjoy the theory behind it all, such as animal behaviour and anatomy. I am hoping to move onto Animal Management with Science (extended diploma) next year to gain more science- based knowledge.
I am very passionate about conservation, and eager to do what I can to protect the environment. I am a proud WWF member and enjoy reading about the difference that they are making (especially when it comes to elephant conservation!)
In my spare time, I enjoy teaching my dog (Amber) and 2 guinea pigs (Cookie and Oreo) tricks.
After starting as a part time receptionist I was promoted to Practice Manager, and I am thoroughly enjoying my role helping to keep things running smoothly here at Winnersh!
Though my role makes my job more office based, you will still find me on occasion talking away to the patients or visiting animals and their humans! I also take a keen interest in the operations that the vets carry out, although most of the time I prefer just to cuddle the patients when they wake up!
Out of work I spend all of my time either watching my boy Jack play football or trying to keep up with my 6 dogs! I have Hugo and Olive who are brother and sister French Bulldog x Boston Terrier (these 2 are the crazy ones!) Rocco the pug, little tiny Emmy who is my 1 eyed rescue dog, enormous Norman the Great Dane and my newest edition is Stanley the Chihuahua!
I came back to Companion Care in 2020 to join the team as the office administrator. Although I spend most of my time in the office, I cover reception when needed and love seeing all the cute patients that come in to see us.
When I'm not looking after my menagerie of 3 dogs, 4 cats and 4 kids I enjoy going to gym and socialising with friends.
I’ve been part of the team since 2017 and still love meeting and greeting our clients and their owners! At home I have a boxer dog, a Frenchie and three cats to keep me on my toes, I would love to have more and find it really hard not to add to our family when a new litter comes in to see us!
When I’m not focusing on the animals I love to spend time with my family and friends, walking, gardening and eating out, with the odd holiday thrown in. I have always done secretarial work before so this was a total change in direction and I haven’t regretted a single minute of it so far!
After working with children in our local primary school for 13 years, I decided it was time to work with my next favourite thing- animals! I joined the team in July 2019 and I'm thoroughly enjoying it.
When I'm not busy on reception, you will find me walking my cute Golden doodles Evie & Archie.
I have worked on reception at Companion Care for 2 years and I really enjoy the role. Having previously worked at a dog rescue, I love meeting all the different types of patients that come to visit us but especially the patients with waggy tails!
When I'm not at work I enjoy spending time with my family and my old boy Kye who is a 14 year old Staffy. I love to holiday in the UK and abroad, and spend lots of time outdoors keeping my 2 young children entertained.
I have worked for the vet group for 4 years, 2 of those at the Winnersh surgery. I really enjoy the role as it means I get to see lots of animals, but I have a soft spot for the older dogs!
In my spare time I look after my 4 dogs- a Lurcher, a Whippet and 2 cute little Chihuahuas. We like to take them on UK breaks and their favourite place Cornwall.
I have very recently joined the team in November 2022 and I am enjoying my new venture, meeting the adorable pets and their owners. This is a total change in direction for me, having previously worked in the service sector as PA and office admin for over 20 years.
When not working, I love spending time with our Frenchie who's a real character! I also enjoy spending time with my family, meeting up with friends, walking, playing badminton, trying out different restaurants from time to time and going on holidays.
I am the newest member of the receptionist team. Having worked previously at a dog groomers, I love being around all the animals that come to visit us.
When I'm not at work I spend most of my time at the yard with my 2 horses, Hazel and Connor. I also enjoy going to the gym and spending time with friends and family.
Companion Care Winnersh is committed to bringing you affordable, high quality care via a modern, well equipped practice, including a lab, pharmacy, digital x-ray and ultrasound. Plus, on site car parking too!
The friendly team can't wait to meet all of their new clients!
