Beth Walding BSc (Hons) BVSc MRCVS

Beth Walding graduated from Bristol Veterinary School in 2004, having done an extra degree in veterinary pathology and infectious disease halfway through her degree course.  Since graduating, she has worked in small animal practice in Bristol and Northampton, and has just finished a year at the Royal Veterinary College working as an intern principally in emergency and critical care medicine.  Beth enjoys all aspects of veterinary work, but is particularly interested in small animal medicine, and is currently enrolled for the RCVS Medicine Certificate. When not at work Beth enjoys socialising, travelling, the arts, cooking (and reluctant gym attendance to off-set it…) and running around after her cat and rabbits…

Hayley Addison VN
Hayley is the full-time qualified veterinary nurse who works at Oakwood Veterinary Surgery. She has been a veterinary nurse for 12 years but has been at Oakwood for the past 5 years. As well as helping with the veterinary tasks, she is responsible for much of the day to day administration work in the practice. Hayley's particular interest is in the wildlife the practice has brought into it by members of the public, and enjoys the work in nursing them until they are ready to go back into the wild.

Jo Sheridan
Jo joined the Oakwood team in 2005 as a receptionist. Jo's role was to keep the reception running as smooth as possible and maintain a calm and friendly enviroment for the clients as well as their pets. 

Jo is currently training to be a Veterinary Care Assistant. She now works at both the Wood Street Veterinary Hospital and Oakwood Veterinary Surgery to broaden her experience and gain a wide variety of knowledge. 

Jo's main interests are in small animals and wildlide. Jo hand rears many species from the wild if they have been bought in to the practice and then releases them once she has nursed them back to full health. At home she has two bearded dragons that are very demanding and keep Jo on her toes.  Jo is currently on maternity leave.
