Practice Co-ordinator

Fiona has worked at the practice for as long as anyone can remember. Fiona is the cheery voice on the end of the phone that gives you appointments or sorts out your insurance questions. We refer to her as our “Practice Mum” as she looks after us all and makes sure we are all clean faced and presentable in the morning. She is also qualified to monitor patients under anaesthetic and is able to advise on parasitic problems.

Veterinary Nurse

Colin joined us in 2013 as a newly qualified Registered Vet Nurse. Since then he has taken charge of the areas behind the scenes. Colin cares for inpatients and monitors anaesthetics. He is also able to advise you on parasitic problems as well as running wellness clinics

Veterinary Nurse

Jess has worked with us since November last year. She has very quickly become an integral part of our nursing team. You will likely meet Jess if your pet comes in for an operation as she is part of the team involved in monitoring your pet’s anaesthetic and recovery. Jess also is involved in running the nurse clinics in all three branches.

Reception & Veterinary Care Assistant

Sarah is also qualified to advise on parasitic problems.

Reception & Housekeeping

Hazel has worked with us since 2009. She runs the reception and housekeeping at Innerleithen and knows everyone in Innerleithen and Peebles. Hazel is also qualified to advise you on parasitic problems and may prescribe flea and worm products.

Receptionist

Most of you will know Tracey as the cheery face that greets you at our Galashiels branch. Tracey has worked for us since November 2016, but having lived in Gala for many years, most of you will know Tracey and her dog Heather already. Tracey is now a qualified cSQP and so can advise you on all aspects of parasite control for your pets.
