Veterinary Surgeons
To qualify as a veterinary surgeon you must study for a minimum of five years. A passion for animals and science is essential.

Clare Buxton BVMS CertAVP MRCVS & Peter Buxton BVMS MRCVS
'Clare and Pete graduated from Glasgow Veterinary School in 1999, gaining extensive experience working in small animal practice before purchasing Barton Veterinary Centre in 2008.
 
Since 2008 Barton Veterinary Centre has expanded and developed and we are very proud of the team and care that we provide. We both care passionately about our work.

​Clare has since gained her Certificate in Advanced Veterinary Practice (CertAVP) - this is a Masters level qualification awarded by the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons after examination by The University of Liverpool Veterinary School and The Royal (Dick) School of Veterinary Studies at The University of Edinburgh.  It took 3 years of hard work and research to attain and enables the practice to keep ensuring that we are delivering the leading standard of care for your pets.

​We aim to provide the best care to all our patients and their owners in a relaxed and friendly environment.
 
We’re very keen to listen, please feel free to approach Clare, Pete or any other member of staff if you have any comments or suggestions about your practice.
 
We have two children; ­Eloise and Hannah, a cat -  ­Harry, Rosie the dog, two ponies and one budgie.'

​'I graduated in 2013 from the University of Liege.  After working for 2 years in Belgium, I decided to move to the UK to enhance my professional skills and I joined the Barton Veterinary Centre team in June 2016.

​I have one cat, Maki, but he still lives with my parents in Belgium - I miss him very much!  In my free time I like reading, drawing, cooking and walking in the countryside.

‘I have worked in veterinary practice for 6 years and became a qualified veterinary nurse in 2007. I have a cross breed dog called Holly who was abandoned at 6 weeks of age, she is now 8 years old and is a friendly little thing but unfortunately has a dislike for male vets. I am also now the proud owner of four rabbits, two French Lops called Dorothy and Douglas and two Belgian Hares yet to be named.
 
I enjoy horse riding , socialising and walking Holly.’

'I joined the practice as a qualified veterinary nurse in April 2012. Prior to this I spent 4 years at Harper Adams University and graduated with a degree in Veterinary Nursing in 2011.
 
Originally from Oxfordshire, I moved to the area after graduating, and now live in a little village with my husband and our dog and cat. Ruby is our black labrador who has begun her gun dog training and is very much enjoying every aspect of it. She can be a bit of a handful at times but she is a very loving dog and enjoys nothing more than to cuddle up on the sofa with you after a long day out. Ralph was a rescue from the practice, after his long ordeal with us I decided to take him home where he has fitted in perfectly with the family. Ralph and Ruby get on really well and can often be found curled up on the dog bed together! In my spare time I enjoy taking Ruby for walks, baking, sewing and horse riding.'

Leigh is a registered veterinary nurse and joined the team in December 2018. She has worked in animal care since she was 14, starting out in the local rescue kennels. She has a cat called Winnie (after Mandela not Poo!) and a rescue dog Lil, who was going to be put to sleep due to an orthopaedic condition. However, she copes really well on medication and even gives Winnie a run for her money! In her spare time Leigh loves swimming, cycling and running.

​Briony Wright - Student Veterinary Nurse

I joined Barton Veterinary Centre in June 2016 as an Animal Care Assistant after a career change from working in Banking. I have always had an interest in animals but never thought to pursue it as a career. I studied Business at East Riding College and then went on to working full time in retail banking. After a year of bank work I decided I wanted a practical, hands-on job. I knew I wanted a career in animal care and found that Veterinary Nursing was a role I wanted to pursue. I am looking forward to starting my training for this next year at Bishop Burton College whilst still working at the practice to gain more practical experience.

I have two miniature Dachshunds named Dolly and Paddy who both love trips out to Beverley Westwood and plenty of attention. I also have a goldfish named squirt and often stay with my older sisters dog, Bertie, who is a shih tzu and bichon cross. I am really enjoying my new role within the Practice and I am learning a lot of valuable skills from the lovely team here.

Courtney Robinson - Student Veterinary Nurse

I joined Barton Veterinary Centre in July 2019, starting my Level 3 Diploma in Veterinary Nursing in September. I’m extremely excited to get started as I love animals and cant wait to work with them everyday, helping them in some way and to also have a more hands on job after being an Admin Assistant in my previous job.
I currently don’t have any pets but I’m sure my constant nagging for one will crack my boyfriend soon and when I finally get one it’ll be the most spoilt doggie ever! Until then all my love will be going to those that come to Barton Veterinary Centre.

'I started working at Barton Veterinary Centre in 2007 and qualified as a Veterinary Care Assistant in 2013. ‘You’ll mostly see me out the front at reception. I love to interact with all the animals and meet and greet the owners. Since being a little girl I’ve wanted nothing more than to work with animals. It is so rewarding every day; it puts a smile on my face knowing I have helped in some way.
 
At home I have a tortoiseshell cat called Tikka and a lurcher cross called Tango. They are part of the family and I wouldn’t be without them. I love to see Tikka’s little face peering around the wall to greet me after a hard day’s work and Tango’s tail wagging like the clappers; she is always pleased to see me.
 
Animals are a wonderful thing, they are always there when you need them, make you smile, cry and they listen when you want someone to talk to but most of all ...they don’t tell!’
