Our Team
Copthorne Veterinary Clinic’s team have been hand-picked for their clinical experience and ability to provide the highest level of care for our patients.

Richard Morris
BVSc CertVA GP Cert (SAS) MRCVS
Richard also has a special interest in animal welfare. Before joining the practice, he spent time in India treating not only dogs and cats but more unusual animals like elephants and camels.[/ultimate_modal]

Naomi Watson
BSc BVSc CertAVP MRCVS
I have undertaken a number of additional qualifications including a certificate in advanced veterinary practice. This incorporated all aspects – with areas in medicine, surgery and clinical pathology. I have also undertaken a certificate in clinical animal behaviour and qualified as a clinical animal behaviourist (CAB) through the APBC (Association of Pet Behaviour Councillors).
I love working in first opinion and enjoy the varied cases you see. My love of behaviour evolved from my own dogs’ additional needs and the realisation that to effectively treat our patients we need to consider their mental health and take a holistic approach.
In my spare time I have two young daughters, a Welsh Collie and enjoying running in the hills.[/ultimate_modal]

In 2010 I made the difficult decision to leave my clinical work behind to become Practice Manager – although with veterinary nursing in my blood I didn’t actually stop consulting until 2018!
My job now involves the day to day running of the practice, which includes ensuring we have a happy team providing outstanding patient care and excellent customer service – a task made easier when your colleagues are more like your family.[/ultimate_modal]
