Elaine Shaw BVMS MRCVS

Elaine is the senior vet in Brannock and a partner in the business. Elaine attended the University of Glasgow Vet School and she qualified in 1991.

If she is not consulting or operating she is buried in the paperwork! Elaine really enjoys all aspects of caring for our patients and building friendships with patients and clients from their enthusiastic youth to caring for our golden oldies.

Outwith work (in the few hours that are left) she is partial to a good book, cocktails and chocolate in no particular order! Seek and Lexi – her cairn terriers – come to work daily but only to get a gravy bone!

Iain Shaw

Iain joined the team on an official basis in April 2015. As Elaine’s husband he has been around the surgery from its planning stages so he is very capable in all areas!

As the practice manager, Iain deals with the majority of the paperwork and ensures that it runs smoothly behind the scenes.

Outside of work, Frances is kept very busy with her 3 young children Ryan, Erin and Noel.

With a passion for animals Rhiannon has her own dog Ollie who is a Jack Russell cross Bichon, who we have to confess is not one of our biggest fans!

Jennifer takes pride in providing an excellent standard of care to both patients and clients and is the surgery’s self- proclaimed chief pet cuddler!

Katie Lawson SVN

Katie joined the team in June 2014 and was a fantastic help, mainly in reception! Like Jennifer further education has tempted her away and she began Napier University in August 2015 to study veterinary nursing.
