I have worked as a vet for over 40 years starting in Cornwall then to Tanzania and since 1991 in Norfolk. My wife Shawn and I have 6 children and 8 grandchildren who bring us great joy.
Building community is very important to me and animals play a really important role in this; bringing comfort in difficult times and joy most days! It’s a real privilege to be able to walk alongside owners through the life of their pets sharing in the different emotions this brings.
I have had a vision of a practice where people of diversity are able to work, as so often pets are important to them. So Rackheath Vets was born in 2023 as a diverse community passionate about caring for people and their pets, allowing people to grow in their abilities to provide the best they can for animals in their care.
I see my role as someone who helps owners to make sense of the challenges that come with owning a pet! From looking after a young puppy or kitten and all that entails, to the challenge of treating injuries, skin issues, upset tummies and a myriad of other issues and then the care for the older pet so that they can enjoy their final years. Accompanying people and their pets on this journey is a great privilege and the reason I am still going!
