When she comes home each day she’s greeted by her Labrador Cassie, her Fox Terrier Terry and little cat Pixie.
Dr Dermot McInerney VS BVMS MRC
We have really great owners at Braemar who look after their pets very well, and when we needed to expand our team of vet’s we were lucky to find Dermot who joined us in March 2019.

In his spare time he plays competitive soccer and has a lively Cocker Spaniel called Charley to keep him on his toes.
Judith Evans Practice Manager

In her role as a Clinical coach she supports our student nurses with their training. Like all veterinary nurses she has gathered her own little bunch of rescued pets including her dogs Kayos and Sweep, cats Rory and Tomboy and ferrets CJ and Archie – looking after this bunch should keep her fit enough but on top of this she even finds time for the gym!

Leanne is beginning her final year of study. Student Nurses have very little spare time for anything but work and study but when she needs to slow things down she has her mate Phil who should know how to take things easy, he’s a giant African Land snail!!... and for days on the sofa there’s her cat Shaddix.
Bryony Student Nurse
Bryony’s degree is in design and she is a talented and creative baker, keeping us all sweet with tempting cakes and pastries, but her love of animals has set her down another path to train as a Veterinary Nurse and she is one of our training students.

Natalie Student Nurse
Natalie came to Braemar as a work experience pupil from college, and she says she was determind to return as a Veterinary Nurse one day and we’re very glad she did. She’s a very dedicated and committed Veterinary student Nurse who loves her job, she’s rarely without a smile. Once she’s home and putting her feet up she has Tabitha cat for company.
Rachael Receptionist
With a career in administration it’s no surprise that Rachael is good at her job running a busy reception desk, she seems to know lots of our patients by name and is just as likely to be found in front of the desk shaking paws and giving treats as behind the desk. Her soft spot for everything that barks, purrs, cheaps and squeaks means that Rachael’s just as busy at home as she is in work!
Rachel Receptionist
Rachel joined the practice in 2013 after she returned to live in Northern Ireland, she had previously been working in the hotel industry and then a busy mixed practice in Cheshire and so brings lots of valuable experience to her role within the clinic. Now a Mummy Rachel splits her spare time between her daughter Betsie and son Felix and her two cats Ebony and Moe.

The lovely Sue is everyone’s pal in the staff room, especially if there’s a tuna sandwich on the go!
