Meet Jen, our Training Manager!

Many of you may have met Jen over the years in her roles as a Veterinary Nurse and as part of our Client Services team, so we thought it was time to properly introduce you to what she does behind the scenes at TVH! ❤️

Jen has been part of the veterinary industry for 19 years and has a real passion for helping people learn, grow and feel confident in their roles. As our Training Manager, she works closely with our trainees and new team members, supporting them as they begin their careers and helping them develop the skills they need to become amazing members of our team.

Jen is also a huge advocate for Veterinary Nurses and Technicians and is passionate about helping our profession continue to grow and be recognised.

Outside of work, Jen is kept busy with her husband Andrew, her two daughters Rose and Grace, and their two dogs, a cat and a flock of chickens! 🐶🐱🐔

We honestly don’t know what we would do without Jen. We are so grateful for all of her support, knowledge and encouragement, and for everything she does for our team every single day. We are so lucky to have her! ❤️

It’s been a big journey, and we’re so proud to finally have our Bellerive hospital back and ready for our TVH family.

Millie’s Dental Visit 🦷✨

Millie recently visited our team for a dental procedure after we identified a build-up of tartar on her teeth.

During her procedure, the tartar was removed and her teeth were thoroughly cleaned and polished, leaving her with a fresh, healthy smile 🤩

Regular dental checks are an important part of your pet’s preventative healthcare, as dental disease can develop without obvious signs at home. Don’t forget to check your pet’s teeth regularly and speak with your veterinarian if you notice any changes 🐾

Meet Dr Parris 🐾

If you've visited TVH over the last little while, you may have already met Dr Parris! She’s been an important part of our team for some time now 🩷

Parris grew up in Nottingham, England, surrounded by dogs of all shapes and sizes, which is where her love of animals began. After graduating from the University of Liverpool in 2021, she spent two years working in a charity practice before setting off on an adventure around Australia in a purple van. Tasmania quickly felt like home, and we're so glad it did.

Parris has a particular interest in ultrasound, surgery, and emergency and critical care. Outside of work, you'll usually find her making the most of Tasmania, whether that's surfing, diving, hiking or climbing.

We're incredibly lucky to have Dr Parris as part of the TVH team 💙

A huge thank you to our community for trusting our team with your beloved pets ❤️
