Morven Imray

BVM&S MRCVS

After graduating from Edinburgh University in 2006, Morven began her career in southwest Scotland before moving north to Stirling to continue in mixed practice, with a particular passion for farm work. During this time, she was also fortunate enough to work with the local safari park, treating animals of all shapes, sizes and temperaments, although cows will always be her favourite patients.
Morven later worked as a locum vet in small animal and mixed practices across central Scotland, before taking a career break when her daughter was born. Outside veterinary work Morven has a keen interest in property renovation, gardening and walking, and enjoys volunteering at the local primary school, both in the classroom and outside, developing the school allotment.
