Kerry Williams
I joined the university in January 2019, having worked in small animal practice for 18 years. I particularly enjoy surgery, and charity medicine.

​I am passionate about providing accessible, high quality veterinary care, and teaching students real life clinical skills - Vets in the Community combines these two things perfectly. I do seem to have habit of bringing rain to the clinics!

Outside of work I will usually be found cycling, gardening, or baking.  I have a rescue dog & cat, and a guinea pig.

Phil Hammond
My name is Phil Hammond and I qualified as Registered Veterinary Nurse in 2004, I worked in private practice covering 1st opinion and referral work and some Out of hour's emergency work.  I had a short stint work as a transport officer for the ambulance service with a view to do paramedic training but eventually came back to the animals.

In 2010 I took up a position as a technician at the University of Nottingham vet school where I realised I had a passion for teaching and have since worked up to a position of teaching associate in clinical skills.
​
I wanted to still be part of some clinical work and Vet in the community allows me to do that whilst passing on my wisdom to the new students.

Lisa Morrow
​I graduated from the Ontario Veterinary College at the University of Guelph in Canada. I worked in mixed practice in the UK which included looking after the animals at 2 local rescue shelters. I also worked for Cats Protection for many years as Head of Veterinary Services and as a Field Veterinary Officer.

In 2018, I joined the team at Nottingham Vet School. I teach across all years of the course and help out with Vets in the Community as often as I can!!

​Outside of work, I make lots of brownies and travel as much as I can. I am also Treasurer of the Shelter & Charity Veterinary Association.

Andrea Jones
Hello, I’m Andrea, I am a teaching associate at the vet school. My background is general practice.

​I also have a research interest in education. Helping at Vets in the Community is a favourite part of my job. It is great to assist the students in providing a needed service and to meet the patients and clients.

Beth Lee
I’m Beth & I qualified as a Registered Veterinary Nurse in 2019. I worked in a few, busy first opinion practices before joining Nottingham Vet School in 2023 and started at ViC a month into my career here!

I predominantly teach on campus with the odd day in clinics with our final years here and there. I enjoy all elements of my role, but in particular,  my interests are feline nursing, rabbits/guinea pigs and preventative medicine. 

I love coming along to ViC, supporting our students and meeting our wonderful clients and their pets. 

Chris Hawke
Hi my name is Chris. I was reminded recently I am the longest-serving person on the ViC team, and was involved in setting up ViC over a decade ago. My full time job is literally being on the streets assisting those in need – in my full-time job we deal with ViC clients and potential clients on a daily basis.

Working closely with the Vets, the student Committee especially the President and the student Outreach Officer I have the privilege of supporting with Outreach – in person on the streets.
​
I believe Outreach is a crucial part of ViC. I have confidence that students who partake in Outreach learn more, they develop a better understanding of the very harsh and cruel realities of life on the streets and why the work of everyone involved with ViC is so important in making a positive difference to those in need.
