Stephen Gibson graduated from Sydney University in 1995 and has a strong interest in emergency medicine. Steve worked as a mixed animal practitioner on the South Coast of NSW and around the United Kingdom for his first 5 years after graduation, before settling in Sydney and working over 3 years at a small animal practice in Randwick.

Steve gained valuable business experience working as an industry veterinarian for two years from 2003-2005, planning clinical trials, advising on veterinary issues and speaking Australia wide.

Steve is an accredited IVAS practitioner (Veterinary Acupuncturist), his certificate was completed in 2002. In 2008 he participated in a one-year distance education veterinary emergency course.

Steve is happily settled in Wentworth Falls with his wife Fiona, their three children, a beautiful labrador Moshi and cheeky cat Chilli. He loves calling the Blue Mountains home.

Fiona Gibson graduated from Sydney University with honours in 1995. Fiona gained valuable veterinary skill while practising in the UK for over two years. After returning to Australia in 2000, Fiona worked in a busy Sydney vet clinic for four years.

Fiona is an experienced small animal veterinary surgeon with a strong interest in canine medicine and she is an accredited AQIS veterinarian. Fiona completed a one year distance education course on internal medicine in 2002 and continued her studies attending a canine medical extravaganza course held in Brisbane in May 2007.

The major advantage of setting up a veterinary hospital in the Blue Mountains is that Fiona and Steve have been able to combine raising a family, enjoy the outdoor lifestyle and sharing the veterinary duties within the practice.

Andrew graduated from Sydney University in 1994 having spent his childhood growing up in Lapstone in the Lower Blue Mountains. After working in mainly small animal practice in the UK for six years (where he met his wife Nicky) he returned to the Blue Mountains in 2002, settling in Wentworth Falls. Andrew has an interest in internal medicine, especially endocrine disease, but enjoys all facets of his veterinary work. In February 2007 Andrew attended a week long soft tissue surgery course covering the most up-to-date surgical techniques.

In his spare time he likes to hit the trails of the national park on foot or more commonly on his mountain bike.

Nicky and Andrew have two children and share their household with Harry the cat, who followed them back from England, and two crazy young dogs, Perro and Isla.

Giles graduated from Sydney University in 1997 with first class honors. Giles has extensive veterinary clinical experience, working in Australia as well as practicing in the UK.

Bruce joined the team at Wentworth Falls Animal Hospital in January, 2011, after practising for a number of years at Wellington.

He has had diverse work experience since graduating from Sydney University in 1976. This experience has included working in the pastoral zone of western NSW covering grazing properties from the Victorian to Queensland borders, a busy small animal practice in western Sydney, and owning a general veterinary practice in Dubbo.

In a career change move, Bruce studied for a theology degree in Canberra before ministering in the Anglican Church in a number of towns in the Central West of NSW.

A strong call to return to veterinary practice saw Bruce donning the overalls instead of the cassock once again and back to calving cows at all hours.

A patient and supportive family has been there with Bruce through these times and seasons. Bruce's wife Ros is mother to their four lovely children, and she is a highly trained and experienced special education teacher.

The family animals include an adopted big black dog Bella, and the surprise birthday present tabby cat called Katie.

Nicky Laws gained her veterinary nursing experience in the UK where she worked for over 10 years. Nicky is in charge of all matters associated with the nursing care of our patients at Wentworth Falls Animal Hospital. Nicky has always loved and valued working with animals. Nicky and Andrew often get in a tangle trying to keep their crazy dogs Isla and Perro out of mischief.

Nicky and Andrew welcomed their first child in December 2007 and their second in 2010. Nicky loves cooking and enjoys walking her doggies out in the back lanes of Wentworth Falls.

Meg has worked as a veterinary nurse since 2004. She enjoys all aspects of her work, especially emergency nursing. Meg lives in the upper Blue Mountains with her husband, Shane, and their dog, Bear.
