Michelle Harrison

Michelle joined the practice in September 2005 not long after she and her family arrived in Australia from England.

She writes:
“Brought up on the tea plantations of India and Malawi, I returned to Scotland, where I was born, and qualified as a vet from Glasgow in 1995.

I spent the next 2 years in the Welsh hills treating anything from hamsters to bulls. I met my husband, Harry, here and we then moved to the Cambridgeshire Fens where I spent a further 2 years in mixed practice.

Realising that the safe, warm, clean confines of surgery appealed to me more than the cold, dirty, often hazardous conditions of large animal practice, I hung up my wellies and moved to a small animal emergency hospital in Bedfordshire where I worked until June this year.

During this time our dogs, Murphy and Alex, and cat, Zulu, endured the arrival of our two daughters, Chloe (three and a half years old) and Amy (17 months). In July 2005 all of us, including the animals, arrived in Perth to start a new life in the sun with the emphasis on spending more quality time as a family.

On the vet front, I love the diversity of general practice but my main interests include surgery, orthopaedics, dentistry and rabbit medicine”.

Now 5 years on she is a real Aussie and she and her family are firmly entrenched here in Perth.
