Reception and Nursing Staff

Jane works as our receptionist part-time. Owner of many pets (and a few strays!). Loves all creatures great and small and particularly likes the horse races – not for the money but for the elegance, athleticism and beauty of watching thoroughbreds do their thing.

Elizabeth has been associated with Tamworth Veterinary Hospital longer than any of us …… right back to when Dr. Doug Bryden owned the practice. She works as part time receptionist and office manager, is married to Ian and has two boys, Joseph and Isaac.

Annette recently joined the practice as part-time receptionist. Having previously worked as a dental receptionist and nurse, this is Annette’s first foray into veterinary practice.
