Congratulations to Thomas Mignan on becoming a Specialist

1st April 2022

Congratulations to Thomas Mignan who has passed his diploma exams to become an EBVS® European Specialist in Veterinary Neurology.

Thomas joined Dovecote Veterinary Hospital, in Castle Donington, in 2018 to embark upon a residency training programme, under the supervision of Mark Lowrie, which he finished in 2021 shortly before taking his Diploma exams.

“I’m delighted to have achieved specialist status,” says Thomas, “This feels like crossing the finish line after years of hard work. I’m extremely grateful to Mark and the entire team at Dovecote Veterinary Hospital whose guidance and support helped make this possible, and look forward to applying my expertise into practice.”

Thomas is the second CVS Resident to be trained within the Group from Residency to Diploma. The first was Sergio Gomes, who passed his exams last year and who also trained at Dovecote under the supervision of Mark Lowrie, Neurology Specialist, Clinical Director and now Petplan’s 2022 Vet of the Year!

Mark Lowrie says: “I am so happy for Thomas as he has worked so hard for this. He has continued the success of our training program but it is clear this is only just the beginning and I look forward to seeing what new endeavours he brings to the discipline of veterinary neurology”.

Dovecote Veterinary Hospital offers specialist care in neurology, dermatology, surgery and oncology.

  • The Supervets of the north!

  • 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

  • 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.

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

  • 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!

  • 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.

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

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

  • 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.
