Anne Killick  B.Vet.Med.M.R.C.V.S.  I qualified from the Royal Veterinary College , London in April 1982 . I initially worked in a mixed but predominantly small animal equine practice in Stoke on Trent. In October 1985 I moved to join Margaret Wharmby's practice at Park Hall Stables , Mansfield Woodhouse . Here I worked with both small animals & horses .I remained here until I decided to set up my own practice at Meadowbank which I opened in January 1994 . My clinical interests are in small animal medicine including rabbits . I come from a dairy farming background & have always had a keen interest in horses . It is only since starting my own practice that I have not had enough time to have a horse of my own. Nowadays I have taken to riding a mountain bike (this takes less looking after than a horse) & tend to combine this sport with traveling to exciting new destinations every year.
Jill Mellink-Davidson (Regular Replacement Locum) I graduated from The Royal Dick Veterinary School in Edinburgh in 1981. Initially I worked in mixed practice in Lincolnshire for 5 years before moving to Nottinghamshire. Since this time I have mainly worked in small animal and equine practices including an orthopaedic referral practice (Ark Veterinary Clinic) and a dermatology referral practice (Companion Veterinary Clinic at Newark). This year I am the British Veterinary Association local chairperson for the East Midlands region. I am married with 2 children and mostly work part time. I have always had a keen interest in horses and have competed at the Horse of the Year Show in the Pony Club mounted games, evented to an Advanced level and am currently a list 5 Dressage Judge.
	Ben Moran RVN I have been nursing for nearly 13 years now and gained my qualification in 2004. I am also a registered Pet Health Councillor and am currently training to become a Clinical Coach. Education and training is a passion of mine and I am responsible for the training of our student nurses. Previously I have specialized in anaesthesia and performing minor surgical procedures. My experience is mainly with small animals and exotics. I have always been interested in preventative medicine and enjoy running Clinics for weight management, dental hygiene and geriatric care. I come from Lincoln originally and moved to Nottingham 13 years ago to pursue a career in veterinary nursing. Now I live in Ripley with my partner.
Sarah Scott - Student Veterinary Nurse I had been a human nurse for 20 years when, in March 2008, I was made redundant. This has given me the opportunity to move into animal nursing which is something I have wanted to do for a long time. I am hoping to enrol this summer (2009) and start my actual training as a veterinary nurse this autumn. I am married and we have a set of twins. The other baby in my life is Cassie my border collie dog.
	Jenny Noonan-- Student Veterinary Nurse I have previously trained and worked in the human mental health sector but have decided to pursue my true passion and work with animals. I am looking forward to starting College this autumn and am excited about this opportunity to train as a Veterinary Nurse. I live in Nottingham with my partner and our menagery of pets - which includes chickens, a chincilla, 2 cats and a rabbit.
Amanda Stirland- Accounts Manager & Assistant Veterinary Nurse I have recently joined the team, at Meadowbank Vets and have dual roles,  one being Accounts Manager where my main responsibilities are the day to day accounts and book keeping of the practice.  I have over nine years experience within this field, having worked for a variety other companies including a marketing company and a plastics manufacturer. Animals have always been a love of mine and to be working within a Veterinary practice as an Assistant Veterinary Nurse is a dream come true.  I am also a freelance horse riding instructor, having attained my BHS stages 1 and 2 and PTT and an NVQ Level Two in Horse Care and Knowledge.  I have a young son and one horse, one dog, one cat and two goldfish which as you can guess all keep me quite busy.
Assistant Principal - Bilii Billii - is how my name is pronounced. It is Urdu in origin and means "cat" - really I should be called "Billa" because I am a boy but I have got used to my name now. I have worked for Meadowbank Vets since I was a kitten. I spend my time supervising the staff at work. I use my own initiative when re- organising displays or neatly folded paperwork on the desk. My computer skills are excellent - although I am unsure where the words from the screen saver go to when they move off the side of the screen? In my spare time I carry out handy work duties such as fixing leaky taps.
