Anyone who knows Alex knows he’s happiest when he’s busy! Whether he’s in consultations, investigating complex cases or caring for inpatients, he’s dedicated to providing the very best care for every pet that walks through the door.

Alex has a particular interest in internal medicine and emergency care, and enjoys working through challenging cases, helping clients make informed decisions and building long-term relationships with the families he cares for.

Outside of work, Alex enjoys aquascaping and caring for his tropical fish, spending time with his family, travelling and always planning the next adventure!

Veterinary Nurse Manager

I began my veterinary career in 1997 as a student veterinary nurse and qualified in 2000. My first six years post‑qualification were spent working as the sole nurse in a small branch practice, where assisted with routine surgeries, ran nurse clinics, and carried out nurse home visits. This role gave me a strong foundation in independent decision‑making, client communication, and general practice nursing. 

Seeking new challenges, I moved into a surgical referral environment, where I worked for ten years alongside specialist surgeons. During this time, I completed my Advanced Nursing Diploma with a focus on surgical nursing and anaesthesia, further developing my technical skills and clinical confidence in complex procedures. 

After a decade in referral practice, I transitioned into emergency and critical care. I gained my Certificate in Emergency and Critical Care and spent nine years working predominantly night shifts. This role strengthened my ability to work under pressure, manage high‑acuity cases, and provide advanced nursing care to critically ill patients. 

Veterinary Receptionist

I started with My Caring Vet just after it opened, it’s been great watching it grow & love working with my amazing team.

I am married with two adult children. I have lots of pets including four dogs, two cats & a pony. Recently a crazy Maine Coon kitten joined our furry family too. I think he’s going to be bigger than two of our dogs when he’s older.

I love walking, running & Tai Chi. My biggest achievements are finishing the Winter & Summer Spines. A race covering the full length of the Pennine Way (268 miles in less than a week). I am quietly thinking about my next adventure!

Veterinary Receptionist

I started working at My Caring Vet in May 2026. Having previously worked in a veterinary practice, I was excited to join the team at My Caring Vet and continue doing something I enjoy.

I have two hand-reared cats called Edie and Jim, who keep me busy outside of work!

In my spare time, I volunteer as an instructor with the local marching band in Queensbury, where I teach the colour guard section.
