Samantha has worked in small animal practice since graduating from the University of Edinburgh in 2009. She started off life as a vet in the Highlands of Scotland before following her roots back to the Wirral. Samantha is particularly interested in emergency and critical care and enjoys the variety and fast pace that comes with providing out of hours care at MiNightVet. Outside of work she spends most of her energy looking after her two young children and two Springer Spaniels. On the odd occasion that she has any energy left, Samantha enjoys running and hill walking.
Becky joined the practice in October 2014. She grew up in Cheshire and returned after graduating from Edinburgh University in 2007. She is no stranger to Cranmore Vets where MiNightVet Chester is based, as her first work experience placement was at the Childer Thornton surgery. Becky has a particular interest in behavioural problems of dogs and cats. Becky adopted a very laid back cat called Brian and enjoys photography in her spare time. (Becky is currently on maternity leave).
Sophie graduated from Nottingham University in 2017 and since then has worked in two first opinion hospitals, both in SW London and Cheshire. Sophie has a passion for ECC and is currently undertaking a post-graduate certificate in this area. At home Sophie enjoys running and keeping fit, and has a place in the London Marathon 2022. Sophie also likes to travel when able and take walks around the local area. Sophie shares the house with 2 dogs (Nelson the one eyed rescue dog and Rom the Labrador) and Nelson the cat.

Kate joined MiNightVet Chester in May of 2019. Having been qualified for 17 years, and a Head Nurse in a local first opinion practice for 15 years, Kate made the hard decision to leave and venture down a new nursing path. It soon turned out to be the best decision she’d ever made. Kate enjoys the varied aspect that emergency and critical care brings, with no two shifts being the same. She enjoys nursing each and every case, as hard as they may be. She always enjoyed surgery and anaesthesia, but has found a true passion for ECC. Her home life mainly revolves around her little cat Janet, spending time with friends and family and supporting Liverpool Football Club.
