Laura Baxter

RVN Team Leader
Qualifications
  • BSc(Hons) VTS anesthesia/analgesia
  • RVN
  • CertVNECC

Having trained in a referral environment, Laura quickly realised that this was the path she wanted to take and as such has worked in predominantly referral practice ever since. She became particularly interested in anaesthesia and analgesia and in 2014 became a Veterinary Technician Specialist in the area.

Her interest in anaesthesia has continued, particularly anaesthesia for critical patients and pain management. Her qualification has allowed her the opportunity to lecture nationally at both BVNA and BSAVA. Laura has also gained her CertVNECC a qualification in emergency and critical care which has been very helpful working with the out of hours service.

At home she enjoys riding her ex-racehorse, Jack and working her Labrador, Scout as well as spending time with her four other dogs.

Testimonials
Clients have said
  • The Supervets of the north!

  • Everyone has always been so kind and Charlie absolutely loves his visits. The receptionists are particularly wonderful and are always on hand with a box of tissues for the numerous tears we’ve shed.

  • I work as a registered vet nurse and had to come to Dovecote with my dog Alfie. I was squeezed in and was seen promptly by Sergio right after a long operation. He was so kind to Alfie and explained everything to my mom (who is not vet trained) and did Alfie’s MRI there and then even though it was going to make it a late finish. Unfortunately we had to make the call to put my lovely boy to sleep and Sergio and the nurses were really kind and helpful. I received your lovely card today and want to thank you all for your help and seeing him so quickly. I will be forever grateful.

  • I had a very positive experience at Dovecote. I met the vet that day that was going to perform my dog’s surgery and I was immediately put at ease by his professional, friendly and caring consultation. All the staff I came in contact with were lovely, from the welcoming reception staff to the nurses I kept ringing through the evening! My dog is now back to her normal naughty self, I can’t thank them enough.

  • Receptionists, physio, nurses and vets were all fantastic, every single member of staff is worth their weight in gold.

  • Whole team were welcoming and made myself and my cat feel very comfortable! Mark Lowrie is fantastic!! Thank you for coping with me as a worried owner!

  • Lovely, caring staff, who go the extra mile. Wouldn’t go anywhere else.

  • Think ‘The Supervet’ and that’s the level of care and professionalism. Highly recommend

  • I just wanted to say how amazing Kimberly was today with me and my dog Rolo. She could see how upset I was, made me feel at ease and reassured me that Rolo would be okay. Her level of professionalism and kind nature helped me get through a difficult day

  • Really good consultation with neurologist Sergio today with CT and MRI scan. Very well organised with helpful, professional staff.
