I graduated as a vet in 2008 in Bucharest, Romania. Same year I travelled to UK for an Official Veterinarian course and started working in meat safety and public health since April 2009. Worked in different parts of the UK. Later on, I decided to change paths and work in a clinical practice, I joined Cestria in 2017 and been with them since. At home I have a lovely son that keeps me busy and I’m a proud owner of a beautiful white cat. I enjoy trips in nature and anywhere warm and with blue skies. I have an interest in Ophthalmology and doing my best to learn more in this area, currently studying for my certificate.

Patient Care Assistant

Hi I’m Heather, I’ve been here since I left school in 2021. I jumped right in with no proper plan but to go ahead with the veterinary care assistant course. It came with its challenges but it was such a good course in the end. With the love and care I have towards all pets I am glad I now have a position as a patient care assistant and receptionist, greeting your furry pets at the door and seeing the behind the scenes of a brilliant and supportive team of veterinary staff! I have two cats called Dodger and Flump and a crazy spaniel called Jess.

Amanda Eccles

Student Veterinary Nurse

Hi I’m Amanda one of the student nurses. I never knew I was supposed to do this job, but now I can’t think of anything else I’d rather do, I love it. I’ve achieved a lot in my life but I regard this as my calling. I can’t say it has been easy, without the amazing support of my husband and family plus my clinical coach Jessica RVN I don’t think I would be in the position I am, which is awaiting the results of my practical exam, so fingers crossed I will become a Registered Veterinary Nurse very soon! I love handing back animals to their owners and seeing them so happy, this makes me happy, especially when they are very unwell and know I have had a hand in making them better.

Ashleigh Wilson

Student Veterinary Nurse

Hi, I’m Ashleigh, I’m a student veterinary nurse in my final year, with only my practical exam left to do. Being a student veterinary nurse certainly has its challenges. However, I’m so proud of what I have achieved so far, managing studying, work, college and with my own little family too. I’m extremely grateful to Maria my clinical coach and head nurse, I wouldn’t be where I am today without her support and encouragement. Of course, thank you to all the nurses at Cestria for your support you’re all amazing! Caring for animals is all I ever wanted and to do this on a daily basis is a blessing. I have a 1-year-old Springer Spaniel called Lottie and a 6-month-old Cocker Spaniel called Arya they’re very crazy and full of energy but the most loving and loyal pets anyone could ask for.

I'm Maria and I've worked here since 2017. The favourite part of my job is nurse consults; especially wounds, weight clinics, blood pressure monitoring and anal glands - the fuller the better!! I am currently doing a further qualification in Feline Nursing and I'm really keen to make the practice more cat friendly. I've got a cat called Purdy and two Rottweilers, Grizzly and Gina.

I joined the Chester-le-Street practice in November 2020 as a CCA, after taking early retirement from teaching for 30 years. My true love has always been animals, especially dogs. So it wasn't a surprise when I ended up working at the vets. I am a girl who loves Border Collies. I only have little Mist now, who has a beautiful soul and keeps me busy. In my spare time, I love reading and shopping (A lot!)

My name is actually Julia Morgan using old Google. Anyway I just wanted to leave a review of my trip to vets with my dog Toff . The vet Ida Bramberg was one of the best vets I've come across in years . She reminded me of the old school vet ...kind , new exactly what she was doing , no faffing or worrying my dog she went above and beyond. Treated me with respect and Toff with excellents and kindness. Other vets could learn a thing or two from her . X
