    Registered Veterinary Nurse

    I am a Registered Veterinary Nurse (RVN) at Langford Vets, having qualified in July 2024 after completing an apprenticeship here at the practice. I originally joined Langford six years ago as a Night Animal Care Assistant. 
    I have interests in anaesthesia, exotics, and wildlife care. I also previously volunteered at Secret World Wildlife Rescue, which further strengthened my enthusiasm for wildlife. 
    I really enjoy being part of the Langford team!

    Lisa Spriggs

    Registered Veterinary Nurse

    RVN

    Lisa joined Langford in the Small Animal Hospital, as a Rotational Animal Care Assistant (ACA) in October 2020 and quickly fell in love with the clinical side of animal care. After over 2 years as an ACA, she was lucky enough to secure an apprenticeship at Langford Vet Practice as a student veterinary nurse. Another two and half years of hard work saw her qualify in the summer of 2025 and she is now an RVN at the practice.

    Lisa has a specific interest in canine behaviours and healthy aging clinics, both of which we offer nurse clinics for, which means she spends time ensuring that these consults provide the highest level of service for our clients and pets. Lisa also loves the day-to-day care of patients on the wards and is most at home making pets comfortable and providing one to one care for however long they are with us.
