Yvonne Wilson

RVN, Dispensary Assistant

I wasn’t sure what I wanted to do when I left school, all I knew was horses, so I started at college doing course after course until I had a degree in equine science.

It was on the last day of college that I saw a job advert for trainee veterinary nurse at the practice in my village. I trained here and qualified in 2009, staying for many years before moving to a slightly bigger practice in Witney, for a short spell.

I came to Hook Norton in 2013 and am still enjoying it over 10 years later.

I started of in small animal as a nurse for a few years before the opportunity came to work with the equine team, I worked in equine for many years before starting a family. After having my 1st child I came back part time to both small animal and equine, after the 2nd child I rejoined the small animal team.

I was based at the branch in Moreton for a year and now you will find me at Hook Norton in the dispensary.

Outside of the vets I have also worked part time on a small yard of horses, still helping out where I can and while on maternity leave completed my level 2 dog grooming. Some of which I was able to bring back and use in practice.

I enjoy getting to know clients and building up a relationship with them and their animals.

These days, I have swapped 3 part time jobs for the one here at Hooky, but rest assured am still busy with 2 kids and 2 dogs – which is more than enough for now!
