Meet the team

My name is Sameer Bheda. I am one of the Joint Venture Partner at Vets4Pets Leicester Fosse Park and Vets4Pets Leicester Beaumont Leys. I have been at the practice since opening in November 2010. I graduated from the University of Zimbabwe in June 2002. I have worked in different aspects of the profession but my interest lies in orthopaedic surgery. Professionally I enjoy helping to make a difference in the quality of lives of all the pets we see and also enjoy the varied case load daily. I am married with 3 children. Outside of work my time is spent with them and I enjoy playing squash. I have 2 cats called Sophie and Cleric.

My name is Shabbir Shariff. I am one of the Joint Venture Partner at Vets4Pets Leicester Fosse Park and Vets4Pets Leicester Beaumont Leys. I have been at the practice since opening in November 2010. I graduated from the University of Pretoria in November 2008. My interests lies in feline medicine and laser therapy. I enjoy helping the various pets (cats, dogs, rabbits, guinea pigs, rats, degus, gerbils and hamsters) we see daily. I am married to my lovely wife Sumera. We have a cat and hamster called Smudge and Rascal. My hobbies include doing a lot of DIY and tinkering with cars. I also enjoy playing basketball, badminton, watching formula 1 and movies.

I have been working at the clinic since October 2020 and have a real passion for diagnostic imaging. I like working with the team to solve medical cases and can often be found with the ultrasound scanner probe in my hand.
I like to teach our team members about ultrasound scanning and in a twist also have an interest in orthopaedic surgery - which I have been scrubbing in as an assistant with Sameer our JVP.

Fiona Lawrie
Head Veterinary Nurse
RVN

I have worked in veterinary medicine since 1989 and despite being a reasonably accomplished fencer and a Black Belt 2nd Dan martial arts instructor, without a doubt one of the proudest moments of my life was becoming a qualified veterinary nurse in 1993.
I am also a clinical coach so this means I have the privilege of passing on my knowledge and experience to student nurses and therefore play a role in shaping the future of veterinary nursing by ensuring that my high standards of patient care are continued.
I have a keen interest in anaesthesia and surgical work but my main compassion is with our feline companions. I currently have 6 of my own (hazard of the job!). I am constantly educating the team on best cat interaction and handling techniques as well as working together towards achieving an accredited silver cat friendly clinic award via the ISFM.

I started my vet nursing career in 2006 and have worked in many different practices since. I have an interest in physiotherapy, raw feeding and exotic animals having also completed a city and guilds certificate in exotic nursing. I am a clinical coach for students in our practice. I am the proud owner of a bulldog, two cats, chickens, ducks and tortoises.
