Our Vets

 

Full time vets:

We have three full time vets at Moorcroft.

 

Graham Horth BVMed MRCVS

Graham is the principle of the practice. He graduated from Edinburgh University in 1980 and has a wonderful manner with both clients and patients and is well loved by all. A gentle and skilled man he works hard and is very well respected by his staff and clients.

His partner, their cats, garden and allotment keep him happily busy outside of work. Graham is also a keen swimmer and loves a good Dorset countryside walk.

 

Anthony Sargent M.Phil.,BVMS MRCVS

Anthony has been with Moorcroft since 2005 having locumed here for the year or so before. He graduated from Glasgow University in 1970 and has had a vast and varied career ranging from research into wildlife diseases, to 20 years running his own Dorset mixed veterinary practice. He has a wonderful enthusiasm for his chosen profession, with a particular passion for orthopaedic surgery.

In his own time Anthony is a very keen equestrian competing regularly with his arab horse, Puchino, at his chosen sport of endurance riding.

 

Judith Summers BAVetMed MRCVS

Jude is currently covering for Yasemin during her maternity leave, but may well become our third full time vet long term.

Judith graduated from Cambridge university in 1998 and has worked across the country in small animal practice ever since. She loves the variety a veterinary career has given her. In her own time she and her partner are keen climbers and so are looking forward to a summer at Moorcroft with Portland on the doorstep for playtime!

 

Yasemin Beckram BVSc MRCVS

Yasemin is currently on maternity leave. She hopes to rejoin the practice in the autumn in a part time role.

Graduating from Liverpool University in 2002, Yasemin spent the first 3 years of her career nearby in Beaminster working in mixed practice before moving to Moorcroft in 2005. She loves her job, enjoying meeting clients and patients, listening to their problems and working to fix them. Surgery is her other key skill area, which she finds extremely rewarding. She is also responsible for this website, with a bit of help from her husband!

Home is Chickerell with her hubby and surrogate children Meg, a middle aged German Shorthaired Pointer, and Tink, her young cocker spaniel. They are due to be joined by a human addition any time mid April, we'll keep you posted...

The great outdoors is her passion, walking the Dorset countryside, climbing, surfing and cycling whenever possible. 

 

Our part time/ locum vets:

Moorcroft has one regular part time vet, Mark, who covers a Monday afternoon and operates for us on a Thursday morning.

We also require vets to stand in for our full time vets when they are off on holiday. Termed in the profession 'locum vets', we like to try to use the same proven people when we can. This hopefully provides  better continuity of care for you and peace of mind for us.

 

 Mark Bennett BVSc MRCVS

Mark retired from his own full time practice a couple of years ago. Since then he has been keeping himself busy with a few regular part time veterinary jobs and is a keen rower and cyclist. He is a lovely jovial fellow and well liked by all.

 

Tim Phillips BVSc MRCVS

Tim is our favourite locum. He retired from running his own practice in Bournemouth and moved to Devon but still regularly comes back to us to provide holiday cover. He is very well liked and respected by staff and patients alike.
