About

Although mainly a farm clinician by trade I have now stepped away from clinical work to focus on my passion for education, in particular the training and support of veterinary students. I am passionate about the veterinary degree and believe that enthusiastic and knowledgeable teachers are needed to produce the best veterinary surgeons, veterinary nurses and veterinary support staff to meet the changing needs of the UK veterinary sector.
