Selworthy Vets
After qualifying from Cambridge University Veterinary School in 2009, I worked in James Herriot’s old practice in Thirsk, N. Yorkshire before moving down to Devon in 2011. I love all aspects of mixed practice but I have a particular interest in small animal cardiology (heart conditions in dogs and cats) as well as equine and farm animal practice. In my “spare” time I enjoy sailing and fishing, as well as walking my rescue Labrador, Reggie and watching TV with the cats Gilbert and Elvie.

I graduated from the Royal Veterinary College, London in 2009 I have worked for Selworthy Vets ever since! In recent years I have focused more on small animal surgery and reserve my interests in mixed practice for the menagerie of animals we keep at home. Outside of work I enjoy ballet and competing at agricultural shows with our Jacob Sheep in the Summer.
I started my veterinary career at the former Hair, Beaumont & Partners, progressing through the ranks to becoming a partner in the practice, doing extensive mixed practice duties and some lecturing in farm animal preventive medicine at Seale Hayne Agricultural College.
I joined the team at Selworthy Vets in March 2020 and I am mostly found out and about providing farm and equine veterinary services with one day a week based at the practice for small animal work.
I enjoy all aspects of mixed veterinary work, especially Bovine medicine & surgery, preventative health planning on all species, Equine studwork and all aspects of Camelid & backyard poultry medicine.
I am a BCVA Accredited Farm Johne’s Disease, BVD and TB TBAS Advisor, and a ROMS Accredited Cattle Mobility Scorer.
I presented a novel surgical method of Bovine LDA surgery at the BCVA Congress in 2017.
I live in Totnes with my wife Jane, and we have 3 grown up children (none of which are vets!)
When not on call I’m either busy in the garden, walking and road bike training to keep fit. I represented GB in the World Masters Men’s Road Race in Albi France in 2017.
I am the Joint Head Veterinary Nurse at Selworthy, I qualified as a Veterinary Nurse in 2005, after attending Bicton College of Agriculture. I thoroughly enjoy my job and take particular interest in laboratory work, behaviour and medical nursing. In my spare time, I enjoy riding my horses.
I am the joint Head Veterinary Nurse at Selworthy. I qualified from Bicton as a Veterinary nurse in 2013. I then went travelling to Australia and New Zealand for 6 weeks which I thoroughly enjoyed and hope to go back again in the future. I enjoy all aspects of my Job but have special interests in Surgical Nursing, Animal welfare and helping wildlife. In my spare time I like to spend time with my wife, 2 children and our Dalmatian cross Border Collie Marley at our local beaches and on Dartmoor. I also really enjoy gardening.
After completing my BSc Veterinary Nursing degree and graduating from the Royal Veterinary College in 2011, I was offered a job back at Selworthy Vets in July 2013. I completed a years work placement at Selworthy as part of my university degree in 2007, so it has been nice to join the team again. I feel my role as an RVN fulfilling and find it very rewarding, I enjoy the day to day variety of cases, especially the nursing of intensive care patients and running nurse clinics.
In September 2013, I completed a clinical coaching course, so I am now able to assist with the training of Student Veterinary Nurses and I am also one of the trained First Aiders at the practice. In my free time, I enjoy rowing, playing netball and mixed hockey, spending time with my husband Jacob and our families and friends and walking our two Dalmatian x Collies, Jasper and Marley, on the beaches and moors.
