Our Team Langford Vets encourages a community spirit and excellent learning opportunities.

Alison graduated from Edinburgh University and has worked in small animal referral and first opinion practice for most of her career. She has had specialist training in feline medicine and gained a PhD for study of diabetes in dogs.

More recently she has expanded her skills to deal with behavioural cases with a post graduate diploma in companion animal behaviour counselling and offers behaviour support within the practice. She has overall responsibility for the veterinary students placed in the practice and for integrating their learning experience with the clinical workload, and has responsibility for teaching in other areas of the Veterinary and Vet Nursing courses for the University.

Colin has been working in general small animal practice since 1993, with a special interest in exotic animal medicine. He qualified from the Royal Veterinary College, London, having spent the last part of his course studying with the veterinary department at the Zoological Society of London.

He then spent four years working in a mixed animal practice in Essex, gaining general experience but also building up expertise with the more exotic species when ever the opportunity arose. This was followed by time working for an avian and exotic veterinary centre in Berkshire before moving to Nailsea where he established an exotic clinic alongside his other clinical work.

Colin moved to the Small Animal Practice at Langford in July 2006 with the remit to expand the exotic case load increasing the exposure of the students to the more unusual species that are becoming increasingly common.

Celia qualified from the University of Liverpool in 2016. Since graduated she worked for several years as a general practitioner around London before moving to Bristol.

In May 2022 Celia started a certificate in small animal Ophthalmology so enjoys all things eyes, as well as teaching soft tissue surgery.

In her spare time, Celia enjoys exploring the South west with her naughty Norfolk Terrier.

Siân qualified from the Royal Veterinary College in 2013 and has since worked in companion animal practice in the UK and Australia. She has a particular interest in surgery and achieved a post-graduate certificate in this field in 2021. In addition to performing operations, Siân especially enjoys caring for elderly patients to ensure their health and wellbeing needs are being met during their golden years. Outside of work Siân can be found playing netball or hiking with friends.
