Biography
Having graduated from Liverpool in 97 he spent the vast majority of his career in mixed clinical practice in the Welsh Borders.
Over that time he developed an expanding interest in animal welfare and worked with a wide range of stakeholders around the investigation and enforcement of animal welfare offences including building collaborative partnerships with forensic science providers to the benefit of both animal welfare and human welfare.
With particular interests in non-accidental injury and the links to human health and welfare he developed a reporting system for the profession to seek support and advice when there were concerns that a patient may be a victim of deliberate abuse.
More recently whilst continuing to support animal welfare investigations internationally he has taken a role as Group Head of Animal Welfare for IVC Evidensia focusing on improving both welfare and wellbeing of the patients that the Group attend to on a daily basis
