👋🏻 Meet the team 👋🏻

Tighearnán BVMSci(Hons) PgCert(VPS) CertAVP(GSAS) MRCVS, graduated from the University of Surrey in 2019 and worked for several years in busy charity and low-cost practice, before spending a year at Swift Referrals in Wetherby, which fostered his interest in orthopaedics. Tighearnán returned to primary care practice in 2022 where he saw a varied first and second opinion soft tissue and orthopaedic caseload and completed his small animal surgical certificate. During this time he also became the lead vet for the practice and was responsible for the surgical training of recent graduates.

Tighearnán is passionate about clinical governance and antimicrobial stewardship, this combination resulted in Tighearnán's practice being awarded 1st place in the RCVS Knowledge Antimicrobial Stewardship Award in 2025. Tighearnan also worked with ENOVAT to develop European guidelines for surgical antimicrobial prophylaxis in dogs and cats.

Tighearnán joined Pennine Veterinary Referrals in November 2025, and is currently working towards gaining Advanced Practitioner status, with an interest in surgical management of end stage soft tissue conditions, fractures, and complex patellar luxation. In addition to his clinical work, Tighearnán is pursuing research interests in surgical antimicrobial stewardship.

Outside of work, Tighearnán enjoys hiking with his small fluffy dog, spending time with his large fluffy cat, and travelling to places off the beaten track.

🌾 **Meet Mieka!**
This lovely girl recently came to us after developing persistent pain and swelling in her lower back. Following detailed imaging and surgery at **Pennine Veterinary Referrals**, we discovered — and successfully removed — a **grass awn** that had migrated deep into the **sublumbar muscles**!

Grass awns (those sharp, barbed seed heads you often see in summer) can work their way under the skin and travel through tissues, sometimes ending up in surprising places. They can cause chronic pain, abscesses, or infections if not found and removed.

We’re thrilled to report that Mieka is recovering brilliantly after her procedure 💛

If your dog ever develops sudden swelling, pain, or a draining tract — especially after walks in grassy areas — it’s worth having them checked by your vet. Early diagnosis and referral can make all the difference.
