our team
Warwick Payne BVetMed MSc(VetGP) MRCVS
Joint Venture Partner and Veterinary Surgeon
I qualified from the Royal Veterinary College in 1998. I have spent the last 10 years in small animal practice having completed a masters degree in Veterinary General Practice MSc(VetGP). My specific clinical interests lie in cardiology and ultrasound scanning. In 2008 I opened Eastbourne Companion Care. The surgery is going from strength to strength and I put that down to the terrific team we have here, which includes Vicky, my wife and assistant vet surgeon. At home Vicky and I have 2 springer spaniels – Quincy and Rebus.
