Remembering loved ones

 Our once "Fearless Leader" Bernadette was a Brighton local since 1975, Bernadette had the privilege of being associated with Brighton Veterinary Surgery since 1994. She nursed for 2 years at Brighton Veterinary Surgery before moving with her family to NSW where she completed her qualifications. During that time she was Senior Veterinary Nurse at Mountains Animal Hospital, one of the biggest practices in the state. Upon the family’s return to QLD some 4 years later, she immediately fell back into employment at Brighton Vets and has been there ever since.

In 2006, when Dr Adrian Gallagher decided to sell the small animal component of Brighton Veterinary Surgery, Bernadette, her husband and family decided to purchase the business. They never looked back.

They were the first non-veterinarian owners of a veterinary practice in QLD and probably the 3rd in Australia. It had been a very happy decision for the whole family and Bernadette considered herself incredibly lucky to be able to offer the good people of Brighton and the surrounding areas, a professional, friendly, complete pet care service, which shall be continued in her honour.

Her family hope that everyone continues to feel comfortable and welcome in the practice while we provide the highest level of care we can.

 CC was the Office Manager at Brighton Vets for 16 years and holds the title of longest serving member of our staff. She took her position very seriously. Her duties included greeting our clients in the car park, security at night and head paper weight.

Unfortunately the team at Brighton Vet Surgery had to say goodbye to CC in April 2015. She lived to the ripe old age of 22 years!
