Clinical Director

Gemma graduated from the Royal Veterinary College in 2008 and has worked in small animal practice since then. She joined the Camlas team in 2013 and has since completed her certificate in Advanced Veterinary Practice focusing on surgery. Gemma enjoys the variety of general practice but has a special interest in soft tissue surgery and is often found in theatre.

Gemma lives on a farm with her husband, two children, Boris the cat and Otis the dog. In her spare time she is kept bust with her children, baking and trail running.

Ella graduated from the University of Glasgow in 2018. She spent her first year working in a busy mixed practice in Scotland before deciding to concentrate on small animals. Ella enjoys the variety that comes with working in general practice but is particularly interested in anaesthesia and ultrasound scanning. In her spare time, Ella is a keen road cyclist and can be seen struggling up the local hills during her time off! She also has a young lurcher that she is – somewhat unsuccessfully - attempting to train to be a gravel trail dog.

Anna graduated in 1987 and has worked at the practice since 1990. Anna particularly enjoys meeting both pets and their owners in the consulting room and has an interest in dermatology. She enjoys spending time walking in the beautiful Mid Wales countryside with Eddie, her Cocker Spaniel.

Ceri graduated from the University of Nottingham in 2013 and moved back to the area to join the team in 2017 having spent lots of time at Camlas as a vet student. She is currently studying for her Postgraduate Certificate in Small Animal Dentistry with the support and mentor-ship of David Crossley, one of the first UK veterinary dental specialists. Ceri owns a spaniel named Ffi and spends her spare time outdoors mountain biking and running. As a first language Welsh speaker, she can provide consultations in Welsh on request – for learners and fluent speakers alike!

Louise is currently on maternity leave. Louise graduated from the University of Bristol veterinary school in 2007. In 2015, Louise completed the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons certificate in small animal medicine and is a RCVS Advanced Practitioner in Small Animal Medicine. Louise really enjoy seeing many of the more challenging medical and imaging cases that come to the practice and spending time getting to know the patients and their owners. Louise has recently completed a training course on advanced heart scanning.

Outside of work Louise enjoys looking after her young family, and going hill walking and playing tennis when time allows! She loves travelling and in the past have been involved in conservation projects in Zambia and training vet students in Ethiopia.

Louise qualified from Liverpool University in 2011. After five years in mixed practice Louise decided to focus on caring for pets, with a particular interest in ultrasound scanning and small animal surgery. Louise joined the Camlas Petcare Vets team in 2019. When she's not working she enjoys riding her horse and looking after the smallholding.
