Practice Owner & Veterinary Surgeon

BVetMed PGCertSAECC MRCVS

Read Dr Dave Leicester bio

I qualified from London Vet School in 1997 and I've spent the past twenty years working as an emergency vet, gaining a post-graduate qualification in small animal emergency and critical care in 2020.

I recently took ownership of Derby Vets for Pets and I'm excited to be back seeing some non-emergency cases. I'm interested in all aspects of medicine and surgery, with a particular passion for complex emergency problems.

I live in Derby with my wife who is also a vet, 2 teenagers, and Toast and Juno, our pandemic cats. I enjoy bouldering, the outdoors, and all things zompoc.
