ASHINGTON – your local AVG Practice.

Kathryn graduated as a veterinary surgeon from the University of Melbourne in 2014 and joined AVG in 2022. She is the Lead Vet at our Ashington branch and enjoys building lasting relationships with clients and their pets. Kathryn is passionate about providing high-quality, personalised care and enjoys the variety that general practice brings, from preventative healthcare through to more complex medical cases.

Outside of work, Kathryn enjoys travelling, spending time with family and friends, and getting creative in the kitchen. She particularly loves cooking and sharing good food with those around her.

Christina graduated from St George’s University in Grenada in 2017. She began her career in mixed practice in North Wales before moving to Surrey, where she discovered a passion for emergency and critical care while working in out-of-hours practice. Christina joined AVG and is now the Lead Vet at our Pulborough branch. She enjoys all aspects of general practice but has a particular interest in managing emergency and critically ill patients, combining a calm and compassionate approach with high-quality clinical care.

Outside of work, Christina enjoys hiking and making the most of the beautiful South Downs countryside.

Sioned qualified from the University of Cambridge in 2017 and spent four years working in Kent, first in mixed practice and then in small animal practice. She moved to East Sussex in 2022 and joined AVG that April. She now divides her time between our Storrington hospital, our Ashington clinic and our charity work.

Sioned enjoys every aspect of practice, but has a particular interest in medical cases and dentistry. Away from work, she loves good food, making the most of the South Downs and our local beaches, and the occasional 5k run.

Issy joined AVG in September 2022 and is one of our Animal Nursing Assistants. She has further developed her skills by achieving a Level 2 Diploma, which she enjoys using alongside her clinical work to support both the team and our patients.

Issy is passionate about animal care and enjoys being part of a busy clinical environment, helping to ensure patients receive the highest standard of care.

Outside of work, Issy enjoys spending time outdoors with her French Bulldog cross Terrier, who was originally rescued as a stray from Greece. She also enjoys playing video games and looking after her growing collection of houseplants.

Brooke joined Arun Veterinary Group in 2026 as an Animal Nursing Assistant, following two years of work experience at Storrington Hospital.

She particularly enjoys patient care and laboratory work, and is keen to continue developing her skills. She also enjoys being part of the team setting up for procedures.

Outside of work, Brooke is a true country girl, spending time with her many animals at home and on the farm, as well as enjoying weekends with family and friends.

Salina is one of our roving receptionists, working across our practices. She loves meeting our clients and getting to know their pets, with the odd cuddle from our furrier patients whenever she can.

You’ll also find her on the sidelines cheering on her son, who plays football for his local team.
