Hello, I’m Laura and our family relocated to Oxfordshire from Surrey earlier this year and I joined Larkmead in September 2025.  Originally from Yorkshire, I graduated from the University of Bristol in 2010 and after a short foray in mixed-practice with dreams of becoming a horse surgeon, I soon changed course to small animals. I completed a small animal internship at the RVC Queen Mother Hospital and have since worked in both private and charity practice across London. My clinical interests include chronic pain management, anaesthesia, and emergency and critical care—particularly surgery and trauma cases. When not at work, I love going on long hikes with my daft lurcher, Zip, cooking for friends and family and a bit of gardening. I also have two children, a rescue cat called Reggie and five chickens.
