Leanne is the Head Nurse at the surgery, who joins us after a spell of locum nursing at various practices around the country.

Rosemary Anne Millard RVN

I started work at The Brook Veterinary Surgery in 1995 as a nusing assistant/receptionist. In 1998 I passed my Pre-VN exams which enabled me to continue to study for the veterinary nursing qualification as a part time student. I qualified as a veterinary nurse in 2003.

I live locally with my husband Mick, and I have two grown up children. We have a dog called "Louie" who is a heinz 57 and looks like a lamb. We also have a cat called "Gizzy". I am also the proud owner of "Blossom" who is a 15.3 bay cob, who takes up most of my spare time and wages! I also enjoy walking, local history, reading, going to the theatre and the cinema.

Hannah joined the practice in 2008 as a first year student veterinary nurse. Hannah has now completed her training and is a fully qualified veterinary nurse. Congratulations to Hannah on passing her exams and for all of the hard work she has put in to qualify.

Elaine Hopes

Elaine joined the team in May 2011 as our new student veterinary nurse and we look forward to helping her achieve her goals of qualifying as a veterinary nurse.
