James Dixon BVetMed MRCVS
|
James was born into a farming family in Gloucestershire and grew up working with the dairy, beef and sheep enterprises run by various members of the family. James graduated from the Royal Veterinary College in 2003 and went straight into livestock practice with Westpoint Veterinary Group, working from the main office in Sussex for five and a half years and developing close links and friendships with the farmers in the area. However, due to family reasons, the Southeast was not a long-term option, so after discussions with the Westpoint Directors, it was decided to start Westpoint Ashbourne, and take the Westpoint practice ethos to the farmers of Derbyshire and beyond. James enjoys all aspects of farm animal veterinary work with a particular interest in the impacts of housing, management and nutrition on animal health and productivity. This feeds into a keen interest in dairy cow nutrition and lameness, and James has completed several external training courses in this area. On the cow-side, fertility work, surgery and foot trimming - in which he is Dutch-trained - are all interests, along with mastitis and general sick cow work. Out of work James enjoys playing and watching rugby, as well as cycling and walking - hence why the Peak District was the No 1 choice!

Stuart Patterson BVetMed MRCVS
|
Stuart graduated from the Royal Veterinary college and moved straight into 100% farm animal practice, undertaking and completing the Westpoint internship programme. Following this he moved on to Gloucestershire, continuing to specialise in farm animal work. He was delighted to take up the opportunity to return to Westpoint operating out of the Ashbourne practice and combining clinical work in the area with developing the udder health service across the whole practice. Stuart hopes to continue building firm relationships with farmers in order to improve health and productivity. Away from cows, Stuart enjoys walking, playing and watching rugby, reading and socialising. He has recently taken up scuba diving as a new pastime, and still has an occasional involvement as a scout leader when he gets chance. He is therefore confident that Derbyshire can keep him occupied both in work and play. Tel Mobile : 07791010384 stuart.patterson@westpointfarmvets.co.uk |
