March 2024 Clinic Update
Sarah’s month of fame!
Student nurse Sarah has been in the public eye during the month of February!
It started with Sarah being interviewed for Solihull college of part of National Apprenticeship Week. Donna from the college marketing team attended the practice alongside a camera crew who took time out to interview Sarah and Sophie D; the purpose was an awareness piece that regardless of your age you can still chase your dreams!
Donna also hosts a radio show on BBC WM on a Sunday and invited Sarah along to the radio studio for an interview on Sunday 18th February to promote Bradley’s Promise which is a charity Sarah has set up in memory of her son Bradley who she sadly lost to Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy on 2nd April 2022.
Sarah’s aim for Bradley’s Promise is to set up an information hub for supporting families of young people aged between 16-25 affected by Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy. Sarah found there was a lack of support for Bradley from the age of 16 so wants to help bridge this gap for future families.
To become a registered charity Sarah needs to raise £5000. To find out more about Bradley’s Promise please visit www.bradleyspromise.co.uk
Sarah was then interviewed again ‘live on the radio’ on BBC WM by Trish Adudu on Wednesday 21st February in relation to changing careers at an older age following the random news that ex Coronation Street star Bruce Jones has taken up wrestling at the age of 71! There is no such thing as bad publicity for us!
Spending 5 Minutes with Sophie Dobrev!
Following on from James last month, we sat down with our Head Nurse Sophie D to ask her some questions! You can read her Q&A here…
Welcome to the world baby Arthur….
Receptionist Catherine and her husband Josh welcomed their first child ‘Arthur’ into the world on Friday 16th February weighing a healthy 7lb 13oz.
Catherine resisted the urge to find out the sex of their baby but the members of the team that predicted they would have a baby boy are feeling quite chuffed with themselves!
We wish them both the best as they venture into parenthood with the gorgeous Arthur and we can’t wait to meet him!
Do you have a question you would like to ask our VCA Freya?
As a new feature to our monthly newsletter we will be ‘spending 5 minutes’ with a different member of the practice team each month.
Last month we sat down with Sophie D and next month we will continue with Freya so if you have a question you’d like to ask or just something about Freya that you’d like to know (perhaps if they have any hobbies or what made them want to join the veterinary industry) please send us an email to reception@hornervets.com or send a message via our Facebook page by Friday 22nd March.
As a disclaimer this feature is meant to be light-hearted; informal chat so you can get to know the team a little better and is not to be used for answering medical queries and/or giving any medical advice.
