Sadie qualified as a Veterinary Nurse in 2005 & gained her Nursing Assessor/Clinical Coach Certificate shortly after. She came to work in the Small Animal Practice in 2009. She successfully completed her Level 3 Canine Hydrotherapy Certificate & started to run the Hydrotherapy Unit also.

She also assisted and ran Puppy Classes for a year. In 2017 Sadie worked as a Locum RVN and Canine Hydrotherapist, which took her all over the region.

Colin has been working in general small animal practice since 1993, with a special interest in exotic animal medicine. He qualified from the Royal Veterinary College, London, having spent the last part of his course studying with the veterinary department at the Zoological Society of London.
He then spent four years working in a mixed animal practice in Essex, gaining general experience but also building up expertise with the more exotic species when ever the opportunity arose. This was followed by time working for an avian and exotic veterinary centre in Berkshire before moving to Nailsea where he established an exotic clinic alongside his other clinical work.
Colin moved to the Small Animal Practice at Langford in July 2006 with the remit to expand the exotic case load increasing the exposure of the students to the more unusual species that are becoming increasingly common.
