Nurses
Anne Watkins – RVN
I joined the team at Ferring Street in May 2022. I have worked in small animal practice for the past 15 years, starting as a kennel assistant and then going on to qualify as a RVN in 2015.
My favourite part of the job is the variety of patients and conditions that we get to see every day, ensuring that no two days are the same! I enjoy monitoring anaesthetics and nursing inpatients. My background in volunteering at a local wildlife hospital lead me to rehabilitate and nurse many injured and ill wildlife over the years.
I completed a C&G Certificate in Nursing of Exotic Species in 2017 and Vets Now Certificate in Veterinary Nursing in Emergency & Critical Care in 2022.
My hobbies outside of work include yoga, open water swimming and muddy walks with my rescue dog, Purdey.
Izzy Head – SVN
Izzy joined us in June 2022, after completing her advanced animal management course, Izzy is currently a student veterinary nurse training to be a registered veterinary nurse and is enjoying learning new knowledge to apply to her days in practice.
In the future Izzy would love to rescue a dog and enjoy walks together. Outside of work Izzy enjoys baking, running, going on walks by the beach or countryside and spending time with friends and family.
Lauren White – Veterinary Nurse Floor Coordinator
With over 11 years of hands-on experience in veterinary practice, I have worked my way up to become Lead Registered Veterinary Nurse. You’ll currently find me at our East Preston branch. I am passionate about delivering the highest standard of care and supporting both our team and clients every step of the way.
Outside of work, I love to travel and explore new parts of the world. I also enjoy Pilates to keep active and balanced. At home, I share life with my two beloved pets – Gandalf, my handsome British blue 18-year-old cat, and Bruce, a lively 10-year-old Jug who always keeps me on my toes wanting cuddles.

I have always been a lover of animals and eager to work with them from a young age. I studied BSc Veterinary Nursing at Hartpury University and graduated in 2024 with a first class degree. Joined the Ferring street family straight from university and the team were very friendly, welcoming and supportive
