Veterinary Surgeons

I graduated from the RVC in London in 1994 starting work at Rufford Vet Group or Hey and Greenwood as it was then known in the October of that year. I spent 3 years at the practice before leaving  to broaden my experience, moving to do a 6 month wild life residency in Cheshire then to a number of small animal practices in Edinburgh. Following my time in Edinburgh I moved back to the RVC in a teaching role for a year before coming back to where it all started back in Southport, working  for Rufford vets in 2003.

My interests are skin diseases  and ophthalmology as well as cardiology where I have recently started doing ultrasound assessments to add a further diagnostic option to our service.

I grew up in North Wales and qualified from the Royal Veterinary College in 1992. I love all aspects of my work and particularly enjoy challenging surgical cases. I have worked for Rufford Vets since 2007 and the staff here are the nicest bunch of people I have ever worked with.
In my spare time I enjoy spending time with my young family, walking our dogs and writing my series of fantasy fiction novels.

I qualified from University College Dublin in 1990 and after briefly working in a local mixed practice in County Meath I moved to England to pursue a career in small animal practice. The intention was to return to Ireland after a few years but fate intervened when I met my husband in the first practice I worked at in Rochdale!

I joined "Hey and Greenwood" ,as Rufford Vet Group was then, the following year and (apart from maternity leaves) have worked here ever since.

We settled locally and I am kept busy outside work with our four children and two chocolate Labradors.
Though I am currently working part time I enjoy consulting; spending time with our lovely clients and meeting some wonderful characters (both animal and human!).

I graduated from Glasgow University in 1991 and apart from a year in Australia, have always worked and lived locally. I have a PhD in feline respiratory disease and my particular areas of interest are feline medicine and canine endocrine disease. In my spare time I enjoy going to the gym, walking my Border Terrier, gardening and eating out.
 

Having worked at RVG, off and on, for the last 15 years, I assume most people have met me in one form or another - I'm the blonde one with the pigtails!
I qualified in South Africa in 1990, having worked in a small animal practice there for 8 years. I returned to U.K, initially working in Hastings for a year and then I joined RVG in 1999. At this moment I share my life with my four dogs - some of which I show at local dog shows and have four cats - all unclaimed strays - who do their utmost to annoy the dogs!

I graduated from the University of Liverpool in 2016 and worked at a busy small animal practice near Wigan for 18 months. After moving house I joined Rufford Veterinary Group in 2018. I enjoy all aspects of work but have a particular interest in surgery. Outside of work I enjoy weekends away camping and walking in the Lake District with my dog.

I graduated from R(D)VC in 2008 and spent the next 4 years working in Stafford. Following that came a long stint locuming around the country, including at Rufford Vets (since 2013). I took a permanent job here in 2017 and moved to Southport with my family. I enjoy surgery and analgesia. In my spare time (what there is) I love to read and spend time with my family.

I joined the practice in 2006 as a small animal vet. I enjoy working with all animals but particularly feline and canine patients. My main interests at work include soft tissue surgery and dental work. Outside work I enjoy playing tennis, other sports and travelling to foreign countries. In 2010,  I went to India for some volunteer work with an animal charity. This involved working with a wide range of species and helping with rabies control and neutering schemes and helping injured wildlife and sick pets.
