01 / ABOUT PETE
A career built around caring for animals.
I'm Pete, a registered veterinary nurse with 34 years of experience across general practice, emergency and critical care, and wildlife nursing.
From my early nursing days in Newcastle to night emergency work in Sussex, I've worked alongside brilliant veterinary teams, cared for countless patients and learnt that calm, practical nursing makes a real difference.
My approach is straightforward: work hard, support the team, and never lose sight of the animal in front of you.

03 / BEYOND THE PRACTICE
Wildlife is part of who I am.
Alongside veterinary nursing, I'm a co-founder of Sompting Wildlife Rescue in West Sussex. Wildlife rescue brings a different set of challenges — and a lot of the same values: good assessment, careful nursing and doing what's best for the patient.
