Julie Gamble
Practice Director
Julie joined Oakland Veterinary Centre in 2009 as Practice Manager following a 30 year career with Barclaycard. She has overseen the exciting developments at Oaklands Veterinary Centre, both aesthetically and clinically, as the practice has worked towards and been accredited ‘Hospital’ status by the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons. Julie has owned horses throughout her life and in her spare time still enjoys riding her horse, Oliver, walking her dog Rosie and socialising with friends and family.
Julie maintains that the Oakland Veterinary Centre team is the best she has ever worked with and she is extremely proud of each and every member.
