Meet Your Vets
Dr. Lindsay Wright

Dr. Nina Gammage

Her main interests are surgery and management of older patients, with particular focus on those with mobility or pain issues.

Dr. Anna Wolos
Dr. Juliet Stirling
Juliet moved to Glasgow in 2009 to study Veterinary Medicine and ended up making the city her home. Along the way, she adopted three naughty pets: Dorie, a sassy tortoiseshell; Manny, a ginger with limited brain cells; and Pippin, a crazy Spaniel who’s normally found splashing in a muddy puddle.
Having worked at several clinics across the city, Juliet developed a deep appreciation for the variety and strong client relationships that first opinion veterinary practice offers. In 2021, she began mentoring new graduate vets, discovering a new passion. This made the Pet Practice a perfect fit, as its core values align with her own love for teaching. Outside of work, Juliet enjoys dog walks, dancing, travelling and socialising with friends.
Dr. Miro Ahmed
Miro discovered a passion for teaching the next generation of vets at her previous job and figured the Pet Practice was the perfect role for her. She has a slight surgical bias but enjoys all aspects of the role. No two days are ever the same! When not in clinic she can be found exploring new places or curled up at home with her grumpy cat, Susan.
Elisabeth Lyon
Senior Registered Veterinary Nurse
Lissy qualified as an RVN in 2016, a large part of her training involved placement at the Small Animal Hospital and she knew one day she would like to return. Her first 6 years were spent in a lovely local vet practice, where she developed an interest in inpatient care and anaesthesia and went on to complete a certificate in emergency and critical care. When the opportunity arose to join the Small Animal Hospital and be involved with the Hospitals first ever first opinion service, she jumped at the chance.
The team at the Pet Practice are wonderful and it has been a fantastic and unique learning experience to help the practice grow from an initial handful of clients to where we are today as a busy first opinion Practice. She loves the opportunity to support students with their training, while still being able to provide a high level of patient and customer care.
When not in work, Lissy enjoys the outdoor life, normally found adventuring with her cockapoo Marty or submerged in a cold body of water somewhere....finding any excuse for a dook.

Vanessa qualified in 2015 in Portugal and since her graduation, she has worked in Spain and Portugal. She moved to Scotland in 2019 and fell in love with the country and its culture.

Rebecca Owler
Registered Veterinary Nurse
Rebecca qualified from SRUC Oatridge in 2017. During her training she spent time in the small animal hospital which she really enjoyed but loves the variety of general practice, especially surgery and anaesthesia. She has been a clinical coach for over 5 years, which involves teaching the next generation of veterinary nurses. When the opportunity came up to join the growing team at the Pet Practice, supporting final year vet students rotate through first opinion general practice, it sounded like an amazing experience for her.
In her spare time Rebecca enjoys exploring new walks and discovering beaches of Scotland with her Dalmatian Nevis who is always getting up to mischief. She also enjoys paddle boarding and watching the rugby.

OUR HISTORY
The University of Glasgow Pet Practice was set up in 2022 to provide the pets of Glasgow and the surrounding areas with a primary care veterinary clinic. This clinic allows students studying here, to experience what is like to work in a general primary care practice, building on the skills they gain within charity organisations such as the PDSA and SSPCA.
The practice is based within the well-established small animal hospital here on the Garscube Estate, and not only benefits from access to the state-of-the-art facilities, but also access to the wider, specialist referral teams within the hospital should your pet require care beyond the scope of our primary care practice.
