Sophie Aylett BVSc MRCVS - Assessor

Sophie Aylett, PSS AssessorSophie graduated from Liverpool in 2006 and immediately started work at the PDSA in Birmingham. Having learnt to quickly develop her consulting skills, she moved to a mixed two vet practice in rural Herefordshire. Deciding that mixed practice was where her interests lay, her next job was in a large practice in Shropshire where she was able to spend mornings consulting and operating, and afternoons out on farm or horse yards. A short stint of locum work all over the country gave Sophie the chance to work in several different types of practices, always with her Australian Shepherd dog, Bruce, in tow.

After four years in mixed practice, the opportunity arose to open her own practice on her husband’s arable farm. Since the area was already inundated with small animal and equine practices, Sophie decided to open a farm animal practice using the best of the practice management tools she had seen other practices use whilst being a locum. Although leaving mixed practice was a difficult decision, the chance to set up, own and run a busy farm animal practice has been very enjoyable and challenging.

Having been through the Practice Standards Scheme with her own practice, Sophie is passionate about promoting the Scheme to other vets. With her mixed practice background, she is happy to visit all types of practices that want to reach Core and General Practice Standards, and is keen to learn and share best practice protocols.

When not working, Sophie enjoys reading, walking with her husband and two dogs, and playing the piano. In the future, she is contemplating working towards a qualification in practice management.

Terry Oomerjee BVSc MRCVS - Assessor

Terry Oomerjee MRCVSHaving worked in the UK motor industry for nearly 3 years, Terry decided a change of direction was needed. He graduated from The University of Sydney in 2003, returning to the UK to take up a mixed practice role in West Sussex.

Mixed practice allowed exposure to many sides of veterinary life and it was here that Terry first became aware of the benefits of the Practice Standards Scheme. Overcoming some initial inertia in the practice, he guided them to PSS accreditation.

After 12 years here, it was time to move on. Terry moved to Qatar to work in a small animal clinic in Doha for 5 years. Having a senior role and experience of PSS, changes were made under the guidance of the PSS to bring improvements to reflect RCVS standards.

Moving back to the UK at the very moment the country was entering its 1st Covid lockdown provided challenges. He locumed in Dorset, Somerset and Wiltshire before joining the PSS Assessor Team, whilst still being clinical.

He very much enjoys meeting new veterinary teams during PSS assessments, whilst bearing in mind that the assessment is not about fault finding, but highlighting what practices do well and discovering what they can change to improve even further.

When not at work Terry enjoys spending time with family, running, reading and travel.
