Our emergency vet nurses

Natalie Harrison RVN

Natalie is a Registered Veterinary Nurse. She has been with ELEV from the beginning as a Locum but has recently moved over to us on a permanent basis after falling in love with the dedication the team puts into the animals in their care. Natalie is currently undertaking the Certificate of Veterinary Nursing in Emergency & Critical Care.

When she is not at work she is busy raising two young boys with her husband on their family farm. Her boys have followed in her footsteps of being animal mad which has resulted in a house full of pets including Charlie the Dalmatian, cats, giant African millepedes and even a regal jumping spider!

Kate Elshaw RVN Head Nurse

Devon Seaton MRCVS

Sewn under the African sun, I grew up in South Africa where I studied at Onderstepoort beneath the guidance of lions and lecturers alike. Although exciting, I was destined for the UK where the rainy weather called my name.

Having worked in South Africa, Namibia, Zimbabwe, Scotland and now England, I feel that I have found my home here in Louth. When I am not working at the best job ever, I can be found walking with my savage hounds, writing fantasy novels, playing musical instruments or upon the nearest enactment field with some burly folk clad in armour swinging axes at my head.
I joined the ELEV and Blacksheep vets team in September of 2022 with my wonderful wife, Lindsey.
These are clinics dedicated to serving the community and striving for excellence in veterinary medical care, as such, there were high expectations for me when joining. With their strong emphasis on teamwork and patient care, they’ve guided me to becoming the vet I am today and now, together, we strive for the gold standard of veterinary care whilst maintaining the Louth spirit and values in everything we do.
