Winchester Companion Care

I graduated from The University of Veterinary Medicine in Vienna, Austria, in 1998. After a short time in practice I came to England to work first at the PDSA in London before moving into mixed practice in Norfolk.

In 2001 I joined a practice in Salisbury where I was in charge of the surgical department. In 2007 I joined Companion Care and opened the Winchester vet surgery.

Whilst enjoying all aspects of surgery I particularly like orthopaedics and reconstructive surgery. After the surgery has grown so well over the last 6 years I decided to open a second practice in Andover with 2 colleagues.

At home I like to spend time with my wife and 2 children. We have a Labrador called Josie, and a cat called Lillie.

Tomasz graduated from The University of Life Science (Warsaw) in 2005. After 4 years working as a small animal vet in his hometown he came to England. Before he joined our team he worked for a year and a half in Southampton. He enjoys all aspects of being a vet but loves internal medicine.

I graduated from Bristol University in 2000 and have worked in the local area for a number of years. I enjoy all aspects of General Practice but have a particular interest in Internal Medicine.

When I am not at work, I enjoy going to the gym, Latin American and Ballroom dancing with my husband, Mark, and spending time with my two sons. I have an elderly Spaniel, Marley and a rescue cat Jake.

I graduated from The University of Bristol and joined the Companion Care Winchester team in September 2021. I enjoy the variety of general practice and that no two days are the same! In my spare time I enjoy baking, dancing and going to the gym.  

I graduated from the royal veterinary college in 2014 and started clinical coaching at the end of 2014. I enjoy guiding our diploma and degree students through their nursing journey and helping them to develop their practical skills. I also have a keen interest in orthopaedics and rehabilitation therapy having completed my advanced diploma in 2019 and most recently a certificate in physiotherapy. 

At home I have a Samoyed, two chows, four cats, an axolotl and lots of fish!

I have always had an avid interest in animals, so after leaving school I completed my national diploma in Animal Management, at Sparsholt College. I have been in practice ever since and I completed my Veterinary Nurse training in 2013. Along the way, I rescued a Plummer Terrier called Riley in 2010 and my Miniature Dachshund called Minnie came into my life in 2016.

In my spare time I enjoy taking the dogs on long walks, especially to the beach and spending time with friends and family.

I joined Companion Care for my veterinary nurse degree placement year in 2019 and then stayed on once I qualified in 2021.   I have since developed an interest in radiography and surgical nursing and hope to continue my nursing education in these subjects. I have a very energetic German Shorthaired Pointer called Olive, who you may see or hear while at the practice. At home you will find Olive either running around playing with her toys or snoozing upside down while I enjoy going to the gym.

I qualified as an RVN in 2023 but have been in the industry for over 5 years beforehand and have a keen interest in dentistry. I have two chihuahuas and a Westie who are my world! We like to go on walks with friends and snuggle up on the sofa!

I started at Winchester Companion Care in January 2022 as a student vet nurse. After graduating the following year I was super happy that they kept me on as an RVN.

I love everything about being a nurse but particularly enjoy consulting and have a keen interest in providing advice about nutrition and neutering, about which I like to keep my knowledge up-to-date with the most recent medical evidence. 

My other career is as an accountant, so when I'm not working at Companion Care, I'll be happily working away at a spreadsheet.

In my days off I like to go out on my motorbike, a Yamaha R7 called Liz! And spend time with my ginger cat, Colin, or my fluffy rescue dog, Lunar.

In a previous life, Anna was a financial accountant, but came to veterinary while looking for a career change into something which could help others. She used to rescue rats, has owned a pony, but currently just have one crazy dog, Lunar.

In her free time she loves long walks with Lunar, crafts, reading, and spending time with friends. 

I am a student veterinary nurse currently studying at Sparsholt. I completed my placement in 2023 and have continued working here ever since. I am hoping to get a whippet puppy soon and in my free time I enjoy spending time with friends.

I joined the team at Companion Care in October 2019 as a receptionist. I am now currently training to become a Registered Veterinary nurse at Sparsholt College which I am really enjoying!

In my free time I enjoy playing with my cat Lottie who I rescued from Companion Care and spending time with friends and family.

I joined the Companion Care team in August 2022, shortly after completing my Advanced Technical Diploma in Animal Management at Sparsholt College. I had previously been employed as an English Language teacher, following obtaining the relevant qualifications and my Bachelors in Creative Writing. It didn’t take long, however, to realise that my passion lay in pursuing a career in animal science — specifically, veterinary science.

At home, I enjoy reading, writing, swimming, and spending time with my cat, Artemis.

Samantha joined the team in June 2015, she worked as a qualified HR (CIPD) Professional for several years before joining the Companion Care Team. In March 2024 Samantha completed her Diploma in Veterinary Leadership & Management. She has two part Siamese cats called Lois and Clark. She enjoys running, playing badminton and socialising with friends and family.

Eloise joined Companion Care in October 2009 after her maternity leave as receptionist. She was promoted to Reception Manager in 2013, so is responsible for the daily running of the reception area. At home Eloise enjoys baking and making novelty cakes with her son Alfie.

Nicole joined the team in December 2022.

Emily joined the team in January 2023 having previously worked for Pets at Home, Emily discovered she enjoyed working with animals and wanted to be a part of the veterinary industry.  In her free time she enjoys travelling and spending time with her two dogs Elsie and Poppy.

Emily joined the team in May 2024.

Kate joined the team in July 2024.
