Elaine Shaw BVMS MRCVS

Elaine is the senior vet in Brannock and a partner in the business. Elaine attended the University of Glasgow Vet School and she qualified in 1991.

If she is not consulting or operating she is buried in the paperwork! Elaine really enjoys all aspects of caring for our patients and building friendships with patients and clients from their enthusiastic youth to caring for our golden oldies.

Outwith work (in the few hours that are left) she is partial to a good book, cocktails and chocolate in no particular order! Seek and Lexi – her cairn terriers – come to work daily but only to get a gravy bone!

Iain Shaw

Iain joined the team on an official basis in April 2015. As Elaine’s husband he has been around the surgery from its planning stages so he is very capable in all areas!

As the practice manager, Iain deals with the majority of the paperwork and ensures that it runs smoothly behind the scenes.

I joined Brannock vets in November 2019 and I was delighted of the opportunity to combine two of my favourite things customer service and my love of animals . As an owner of 3 dogs and a cat I feel I can bring enthusiasm and empathy when it comes to dealing with fellow pet owners .

I have three dogs Skye the cocker spaniel, Buddy and Rosie the Yorkshire terriers I also have a cat Belle. My life is controlled chaos with 4 children, 4 animals and a husband, there is never a dull moment. I look forward to greeting you and your furry friends at reception.
