Greg qualified from the Royal Veterinary College in 2002 and spent two years working in mixed practice before deciding to dedicate his time to small animals only. Greg enjoys all aspects of small animal practice, but has a particular fondness for medicine cases, and ultrasound in particular. In his spare time he enjoys travelling, winter sports and creative writing, as well as spending time with his wife Becca (who you may have met during her time with us as a locum) and their young daughter.

Alba moved to the UK six years ago after completing a Master’s degree in veterinary research, specialising in pathology of small animals. During this time she worked in several practices in England and Scotland and completed a rotating internship at the University of Cambridge. Alba is particularly interested in internal medicine; she is currently undertaking a RCVS certificate in advanced veterinary practice in this discipline. Outside of work Alba collaborates in different research projects, aiming to improve our understanding of uncommon inherited (genetic) and immunological (disorders caused by a dysfunction of the immune system) diseases in dogs in order to find new strategies to treat our hairy pets.

Rebecca qualified from the Royal Veterinary College in 2006 and joined the Botley Road branch in November 2010.

Rebecca has a rescue moggie called Eddie, a Cocker Spaniel called Bruern, a Labrador called Molly and two Border Collie crossbreeds, Bob and Nip, who work the sheep on her family’s farm. Most of her spare time is spent with her two children and helping out on the farm, although she enjoys horse riding when she can.

Ros qualified from Bristol Vet School in 2001 and has worked at the Kidlington branch since March 2003. She enjoys all aspects of being a ‘GP’ but has a particular interest in complementary treatments.

At home Ros has a three-legged rescue cat named Pumpkin. She also looks after six horses that she tries to keep as naturally as possible, living out as a herd. There are two retired thoroughbreds, two Shetlands and two Connemaras – the latter are both ridden and regularly hack out and take part in Trec competitions. More recently she has taken up horseback archery.
