Banbury Vets4Pets

Bio coming soon....!

Laurie qualified in South Africa in 1987 and spent the early part of his career in small animal practice in Cape Town.  In the early 1990's, he moved to the UK and eventually bought a practice in Leamington Spa, where he ultimately spent 20 years of his Veterinary career.

Apart from small animal independent practice, he has worked in the Veterinary Corporate world in both clinical and managerial roles, as well as extensively in animal welfare organisations. 

He enjoys all aspects of small animal practice but is especially passionate about cats.  He places huge emphasis on the owner/pet bond and the vet/client relationship.

Laurie started here at Vets4Pets Banbury in January 2022, ostensibly to do a short term locum stint, but due to the excellent support provided by the nursing and reception team, as well as the caring clientele, he has not been able to leave!

Lucy graduated from the Royal Veterinary College in 2011.

Since then, she has worked solely with small animals.  She enjoys a mixture of surgery and consulting and has a particular interest in geriatric medicine.

When not at work, Lucy enjoys reading and amassing plants with far too little regard for where to put them!

Tara grew up in the Midwest of America surrounded by dairy cattle and caring for the barn cats on her Grandparent's farm.  She knew she wanted to heal and save all animals by the age of 5!

She went on to qualify from the University of Glasgow Veterinary School in 2009 and has since practiced in Scotland, America and England.  She has enjoyed working with a multitude of small animal infectious diseases in all countries and has now settled with her family in The Midlands.  She has also obtained her Advanced Veterinary Practitioner status.

In her free time, she enjoys spending time with her children, husband and pets - Taco the Corgi, Scottie the Ragdoll and Peanut and Bob, the two Texas rescues.

Rosie graduated from the Royal Veterinary College in 2013 and has been working in Small Animal practice ever since, the last 8 years predominantly in Vets4Pets practices.

She particularly likes surgery but also enjoys interacting with clients and their pets and coming up with the best treatment plan for each individual situation.

Rosie cares strongly about antibiotic usage and resistance.

When not at work, Rosie is kept busy by her family and two rescue cats, Isaac and Pippin. 

Hi,  I joined Vets4Pets Banbury in September 2019 as Head Nurse.

Hi, I'm Kennedy.   

I started at Banbury Vets4Pets as a Student Veterinary Nurse in July 2019, and in the Summer of 2022 I qualified as a Registered Veterinary Nurse.  I love all aspects of Veterinary Nursing, but my 3 main areas of interest are Laboratory work, Anaesthesia and Patient Care.

Outside of work, I have a keen interest in aquatic life, reading and swimming.  I also spend a lot of time exploring new walks with my Chihuahua, Tucker.

Tiffany started as a student Veterinary Nurse in a first opinion practice where she lived on-site and covered the out of hours service, and qualified as a Registered Veterinary Nurse in 2018.  From there, she found she had a passion and skill for working in Emergency.

She loves all aspects of nursing, especially Critical Care, and she is very passionate about her job.  She is currently studying for an Emergency and Critical Care Certificate with Vets Now.   From time to time, Tiffany locums for other practices when she is not working night shifts!

In her spare time, Tiffany loves going running or any outdoors activities in the countryside and spending time with her family.  She recently got married in 2022 and has a gorgeous little boy called Albert.  She also has a Border Collie called Bertie and 4 chickens!

Tiffany is an enthusiastic, outgoing, bubbly person, who is very caring and passionate.  She will always give 100%, is a team player and loves to have a laugh!

Sadie is a Registered Veterinary Nurse and has worked in Veterinary practice for over 10 years.

She enjoys all aspects of nursing and finds it incredibly rewarding to nurse critically ill patients back to health.  She has a particular interest in Orthopaedic surgery, recovery and rehabilitation, and alongside nursing, Sadie works as a Veterinary Physiotherapist treating small animals and horses.

In her spare time, Sadie enjoys horse riding and long dog walks with her Maltipoo, Mango.

My name is Sam.  I joined the Vets4Pets team in May 2019 as a Veterinary Care Assistant.

This allows me to assist the nursing team with their day to day things and do some front of house work too, I love spending time with people and their pets.

Dom has worked for Vets4Pets on and off for 3 years.  He started at Stratford upon Avon and now does some locum shifts here at Banbury.

He has previously worked on farms, and he has many dogs and small furries, so looking after animals is second nature to him!

Dom likes to ensure that all pets that come to us are given the best care possible and he enjoys engaging with the clients.

I have been working in Veterinary Practice since 1989 starting out as a Veterinary Nurse.

After 32 years of nursing I have now made the leap into Practice Management and joined the team here at Banbury in November 2021.  In July 2022, I also took on the role of Practice Manager for Bicester Vets4Pets, dividing my time between the 2 surgeries.

Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my 2 dogs, who both train and compete in Flyball.  When not doing that, I enjoy spending time in my garden, baking, crafting and spending time with family and friends.
