Veterinary surgeons

Kelly graduated from the Royal Veterinary College in 2009 and has been working in small animal practice ever since. She particularly enjoys seeing cats and has a cat called Minion at home who rules her household. In her spare time Kelly likes to run or practise yoga, read a book or create arts and crafts.

Alison qualified as a veterinary surgeon from the Royal Veterinary College, London in 2007 and has been working in small animal practice since then, including working as a locum in various parts of the country. She then joined The Pines and settled down to start a family. Alison enjoys all aspects of small animal general practice and now works part time – she has a toddler to keep her busy for the rest of the week! In her spare time she enjoys the outdoors and exploring new places.

Born and raised in Edinburgh, Callum graduated from the university there in 2013. He spent half of his first qualified year in rural Thailand, working part time as a vet with a variety of familiar and less familiar species whilst serving with the Christian organisation, OMF International. In the clinic, Callum tends to be more interested in medicine cases and he’ll likely see your pet if they have a condition that affects their skin. He is developing his skills in diagnostic imaging, using the ultrasound and x-ray machines. He’s also often involved in assessing the wildlife cases that may come in. Outside the practice, his veterinary interests are in zoonotic diseases and the integrative field of ‘One Health’ following on from a master’s degree he studied in conservation and infectious disease at Liverpool vet school.

On the few occasions that he is not working at The Pines, Callum is actively involved in St Mary’s, a local evangelical Anglican church. In whatever time is left, he enjoys walking and climbing (whilst missing the Scottish countryside) and cooking food from all over the world.

Emily graduated from the Royal Veterinary College in 2019. Originally from London she flew the nest to join her partner in Oxfordshire and began working at The Pines shortly afterwards. She enjoys all aspects of general practice but has particular interests in emergency care and medicine, with hopes to pursue further training in these areas in the future. Outside of work Emily can often be found enjoying quality time with her Labrador Beau, as well as her friends and family! She also enjoys keeping fit at her local gym and horse riding (when she has the time!).
