Meet the Team

Camilla settled in Perthshire after her graduation from Glasgow Vet School in 2015. Since then, she has worked with mainly horses in mixed and small animal/equine practices. In 2020, she made the difficult but exciting decision to leave a job that she loved, and set up on her own.

Camilla has additional qualifications as a Permitted Treating Vet for the FEI, and completed a Certificate in Advanced Veterinary Practice in equine dentistry. She enjoys providing vet cover for endurance and hunter trial events.

As a mad keen Pony Clubber, horses have always been important to Camilla growing up. She passed the PC A-test in 2017 and since then has become an accredited Stage 4 professional coach with the BHS, with the Stable Managers Certificate. When not working, Camilla is kept super busy with her two boys Oliver and Thomas, who she hopes will love horses as much as she does.

Anna grew up in Fife and graduated from Edinburgh Vet School in 1994. Following a two-year internship at Liphook Equine Hospital, she spent four years working in equine referral hospitals in Australia and New Zealand, developing a particular interest in stud medicine and foaling work.

She returned to the UK to complete specialist training at the Royal Veterinary College, gaining her Certificate in Equine Internal Medicine.

After many years in equine practice in Sussex, she joined Bristol University Vet School, where she worked in both first-opinion and referral practice. Anna is a diplomate of the American College of Veterinary Internal Medicine and received a teaching prize in 2017 for redesigning the equine reproduction curriculum.

Anna has presented internationally, published research papers, and continues to teach and examine within the veterinary profession.

Outside work, she enjoys hiking with her dogs and is a keen marathon runner.

Gayle grew up near Edinburgh, with family hailing from Fife. Some of you have met her a number of years ago, as she was an absolutely stand-out student previously. She studied veterinary medicine as a second degree abroad.

She has always had a keen interest in animals, in particular horses, and has been riding since she was 3. Over the years she’s worked on livery yards with a variety of horses of all ages, shapes and sizes, from happy hackers to competition horses and ex-racers. She also worked on a farm for a few years, alongside laboratory work.

Her hobbies out with riding include hill walking and getting out with a camper van when the Scottish weather permits, and when it doesn’t she enjoys knitting in the warm indoors.

Katie graduated from Glasgow Vet School in 2016 and joined an equine practice in Derbyshire.

She then went to Australia and completed a medicine internship at Scone Equine Hospital and then a medicine Fellowship at Hagyard Equine Medical Institute.

At Christmas time 2024, Katie completed her residency at Glasgow Vet School and passed her European Internal Medicine Diploma (this is the European equivalent of Anna’s qualification) so she is a super smart cookie! As if this wasn’t enough, she starts a PhD in September too.

We are very excited to have her working with us at PEV.

Holly graduated from Glasgow vet school in 2014, and started out in mixed practice in West Wales. After a short stint as a locum, she settled in the Peak District for five years, again in mixed practice. Following this, she continued to work in the area as a clinical locum and then a product export vet during COVID.

In 2021 she moved back to Scotland, where she embarked on an equine career. She took up a position as a vet at Glasgow University’s equine hospital and practice, and gained lots of great experience. She saw the light, and realised then that equine only work was for her.

She now teaches Equine Clinical Skills at Glasgow vet school, whilst also doing equine ambulatory work. She really enjoy the teaching aspect of the job and bringing clinical experience to it. It’s great seeing students take on board skills and knowledge, ready to become vets themselves.

She lives with her husband and cat near Loch Lomond, where there is plenty of opportunity to enjoy the Scottish wilderness, and they regularly head out climbing, hillwalking, swimming and canoeing. Holly also enjoys the odd gentle hack out on the almost retired horse, Danny.

Sam has been with us for over 3 years now and heads up the office team as Senior Receptionist.

She oversees the day-to-day, smooth running of the practice from organising the vets and what they may need (that is a task in itself), handling insurance paperwork, running social media and a lot more in between.

Sam is known for her chatty and bubbly character and is always happy to help – this comes from her days as a hairdresser.

Out of work, she is partner to Tom, mummy to Emily and also has 2 step-children.

They have their own ponies, Ronnie and Flower, as well as having her own horse, an ex-showjumper named Donkey.

Alison has a reassuring and efficient manner, and joined the team as our admin assistant.

She lives locally with her husband and two children, two dogs, 20 Cheviot sheep and lovely horses, Hope and Bracken.

She is on the committee for the local Pony Club and spends lots of time ferrying Hope to rallies with her daughter.

Alison joined us in 2024, as a maternity cover for Sam, and we are delighted to say she is now part of the team permanently.

She has many years experience working within in an office environment and like the rest of us, has a wealth of equine experience also so makes the perfect combination for our ever growing team.

Alison lives in locally with her husband and teenage son and is also horsey mum to the beautiful Irish Draught x, Indi,  cheeky Welshy, Rocco and her beautiful Welsh D, Sandy.

We are sure you will find her patient manner and caring approach to your horses care just as fabulous as we do.

Maddy has joined the office team, and will also be seen out on yards, helping the vets with procedures.

She is pictured here with a Grand National winner that you might all recognise.

She has previously worked as a receptionist, is a veterinary physiotherapist and has worked for many years in the equine industry as a groom and yard manager.

Sam is our newest recruit and joins our wonderful office team.

She has worked in a vet practice previously as a surgery assistant and receptionist. She is welcoming and friendly, also making the office a bit more confusing with now two Sam’s on the team (and our two Alison’s).

Sam has owned horses in her younger years and still likes to ride in her spare time as well as spending time with her family.

To any of you who have already spoken to her, we are sure you will all agree how lovely she is 💖
