Head Veterinary Surgeon

Dale started as the lead vet at EVES in September 2018. He moved to Devon upon graduating from the RVC in 2013, working in two local mixed animal practices. His interest in small animal practice in particular grew during this time and he embarked upon a certificate of advanced veterinary practice. He enjoys the varied and challenging caseload that an emergency hospital provides, finding that often the most difficult cases provide the most reward. When not at work he spends a large chunk of time keeping control of his unruly pack of dogs on walks in the Devon countryside, or out cycling roads and running trails, often to the sound of a podcast or a well-read audiobook.

Anna qualified as a veterinary nurse in 1999 and has worked in a variety of practices in the south west ever since. Her nursing career initially found her working in both mixed and equine practices but she has spent the past few years concentrating her skills on nursing small animals. She's a local girl and has lived and worked in the county all of her life but that's not to say that she hasn't also done her fair share of travelling. Anna has visited China, New Zealand and Australia.

Kate has been nursing since 2001, and since then has pursued interest surgical and emergency medicine. Outside of work Kate spends much of her time producing ponies with her daughter and partner, often travelling the length and breath of the country to do so. Kate has two dogs.
