Newcastle Vets4Pets

Hi, my name is Effy and I work as a Veterinary Surgeon here at Newcastle Vets4Pets. Originally from Greece I qualified in 2014 and worked in a variety of small animal practices before coming to the UK in April 2018.

I have a collection of cold-water fish and shrimps and am hoping in the future to add a four-legged friend to my keeping.

Outside of work I enjoy the great outdoors at every opportunity and have a passion for wildlife and astronomy.

I really enjoy working at Newcastle Vets4Pets with my lovely team and always try to give the best of myself in the care and treatment of the little “furries”.

Hi, my name is Kate and I'm one of the vets at Newcastle Vets4Pets. I qualified from Nottingham University in 2015 and worked in a large, mixed animal practice for three years. After this I locumed at various practices around the North East before taking a permanent job at Newcastle in September.

I love meeting clients and their animals and really enjoy being part of the friendly team at this practice.

I spend as much of my spare time outdoors as possible - cycling, hiking and exploring Northumberland with my Golden Retriever, Rosie.

I have worked in a variety of small animal practices from a Referral hospital to local surgery branches in the North East England.

In 2021 I joined Newcastle Vets4Pets. I welcome the wide variety of clients we see with their four-legged family members and enjoy all aspects of the work.

I really appreciate working with such a supportive team of people with a shared passion for animals and their care.

When not at work I love to spend time with my family. I am also a keen runner and am happiest when running in the rain.

Hi, I’m Alison. I graduated from Edinburgh University in 1990 and after a couple of years in mixed practice in Yorkshire, I moved to solely small animal practice.

I worked in several practices in Yorkshire, Surrey, and Nottingham, with occasional locum stints in Gibraltar. I also worked for DEFRA in Scotland during the Foot and Mouth outbreak in 2001/2002.

Originally from Scotland, I moved to the north east in 2001, and am happily settled in this beautiful part of the country.

I live with my husband and 2 children and we have a labrador, 5 guinea pigs and 2 horses. In my spare time I enjoy walking with my dog, gardening, horse riding, wild swimming, and generally being outside as much as I can.

I first joined Vets4pets in Newcastle in 2022. I love working at this practice, and being part of this special team. All members of the team genuinely care about the animals, their owners and each other, and that’s what makes working here so rewarding.

I love my job, our team here is an amazing family.

I’m obsessed with all things hedgehogs. I’ve got an African Pygmy hedgehog called Stitch, who loves to travel! He’s a grumpy little boy but very loving at the same time.

Hi, my name is Richard and I joined Newcastle Vets4Pets in 2018 working for the first time in the veterinary world having previously spent 10 years in the private health care sector.

My family home currently has three dogs: Bobbie, a Bearded Collie Cross; Peggy and Norman, both crazy Border Collies. Home life can be pretty chaotic and noisy, especially when the post or parcels arrive!

Recently we added a Leopard Gecko to the family menagerie, though not everyone is keen on the live insect feeding!

It's great to work with an amazing group of people who share a real passion and commitment for animal care and do such a great job each and every day.

I love working with the Team here at Newcastle as each day is different and you never know what is going to come through the doors.
