Billa Schleicher MRCVS

Billa qualified as a vet in 1992 from Berlin University after having previously worked as a veterinary nurse and studied biology for 2

years - laying the foundation for her wider interest in animals of all sorts!

Billa had planned to work in Canada, but fell in love with Pembrokeshire.

She has a weakness for collies and owns two Border Collies and a Jack Russell, that she "inherited" from a client. She also has a cockatiel that must be in his late thirties or early fourties, some ducks, some chickens and a few sheep! And yes, that hair was indeed blue at the time of the photo and has been blue again since (at special occasions)!

Katie Swords MRCVS

Katie graduated from Edinburgh vet school in 2012.

She moved to Pembrokeshire soon after, having already lived in England, Ireland and Scotland, she thought it was only fair to give Wales a shot!

She lives on a dairy farm with her partner, children and many animals, including goats, dogs and cats.

She is interested in all aspects of veterinary medicine, particularly internal medicine.

Katie is currently working towards a further qualification in companion animal behaviour. Outside of work Katie enjoys exploring Pembrokeshire with her children, writing and spending time with her own pets.

Karen Burton RVN, Cert VN EEC

Karen qualified as a veterinary nurse in 1990 and worked at a very busy PDSA practice in Birmingham for 13 years.

She moved to Pembrokeshire in 2001 and decided to return to veterinary nursing after seeing the position here advertised.

She enjoys nursing sick and injured animals and assisting in operations. Karen is our resident Geriatric Clinic Nurse, who likes to see your older pets to give them a good Health Check and in 2023 she gained her Emergency & Critical Care qualifications.

In her spare time she (sort of) enjoys keeping fit and spending time with her family.

The only drawback she sees to her job is the amount of cake she has to avoid.

Jess Harrison - Head RVN

Jess joined us in June 2019 to complete her studies and become a Veterinary Nurse.

Jess enjoys walking the coastal paths, spending time with her family and friends and up-cycling furniture.

She has 3 dogs and 11 crested geckos and she is currently on maternity leave, as her family has expanded in 2023.

Cathy Raymond- RVN Cert SAN, Acting Head Nurse

Cathy qualified as a veterinary nurse in 2009, and has worked in busy veterinary practices for many years and brings with her a wealth of experience. We call her our own practice Google - besides her Certificate in Small Animal Nutrition, she also has an HND in Animal Studies, a diploma (L4) in Business Administration and she is one of our Clinical Coaches, responsible for the training of the student nurses.

Cathy specialises in medical nursing, diabetic clinics and advanced nutritional pet needs, and is also the point of contact within the practice for insurance claims.

Cathy is from Pembrokeshire and in her spare time enjoys walks along the coastal path.

Cathy has 2 children and 2 cats, one of which has 3 legs (Spot).

Stefan Belus, MRCVS

Stefan graduated from Kosice University in the native Slovakia and had worked in Cornwall, prior to joining us in 2021.

He loves to spend some time bend over the microscope - he's the one we turn to when we want another opinion on some cells.

He and his partner own a cat and an Australian Shepherd dog, which they love to take to the local beaches.

Francesca Herrera -Receptionist

Fran is one of our fantastic client centered reception team members, joining us in Jun 2021, originally from Devon having recently moved here with her partner.

Fran loves horse riding and is keen to extend her animal family, and in particular would like some bunnies, puppies, kittens or ponies.

Fran has a black cat called Bat.

Cathy Stillman- Student Nurse

Cathy is one of our Student Nurses. Having initially moved to Pembrokeshire following her chosen career path as a riding instructor, Cathy then found herself having a love for caring for the slightly smaller animals.

Cathy lives locally with her other half and has two dogs and a cat and it is just as well that she now works in a veterinary practice, as one of them is a pretty regular visitor!

When Cathy has some free time, she loves spending it with her furry buddies, enjoying the wonderful coastline.

Paige Chilcott - Receptionist

Paige is one of our fantastic client centered reception team members, having joined us in December 2020.

Paige relocated from the Midlands 14 years ago and enjoys living around the gorgeous Pembrokeshire coast due to her love of diving.

Paige lives in Pembroke with her hubster and 5 year old daughter Hallie and has a very lively 13 year old Chugg called Rodney and a bunny called Benny.

Bridie Diablo - Student Veterinary Nurse

Bridie started with us on work experience, then found herself at the reception

desk for a while and is about to finish on the very exciting path to Veterinary Nursing, having studied at Myerscough College in addition to her in-house

practical training over the course of the last 2 years.

Bridie has a large cat called Leroy who likes to play with balloons and a lurcher called Goose.

Cethin Ravenhill MRCVS

Cethin started her veterinary life as an equine vet after qualifying from Bristol university - she is well versed in all things equine, representing Wales nationally in competitions. We are glad though that she saw the light and changed over to "smallies". She particularly enjoys opthalmology and cardiology and is a dab hand with the ultrasound scanner.

She always has a small menagerie around her, owning 2 horses, a dog, a cat and usually rescuing something small furry or feathery!

Rachel Charnley-Practice Manager

Rachel joined the Practice in August 21 after completing her career in the Army. Originally from Pembrokeshire, Rachel has recently moved home and brings with her over 20 years experience in managing within healthcare services.

Rachel has 3 children and a golden cocker spaniel called Honey, and in her rare spare time enjoys going to the Gym.

Bryony Harries RVN

Bryony initially came to see practice with us having done an Animal Care course at the Pembrokeshire College. After working with us for a while, she then started her nurse training and qualified from Coleg Sir Gar.

Bryony has been running our Puppy Parties, but is also one of our diabetic nurses.

She is currently on maternity leave.
