I graduated from the RVC in 2001 and went straight into practice. I worked in mixed practice with out of hours on-call early in my career, living my childhood ‘James Herriot’ dream, but now work exclusively with small animals. I have long had an interest in complementary therapies and have undertaken training in acupuncture (and ABVA), herbal medicine (Integrate and CIVT), and behaviour and training (COAPE). I continue to work in general practice enjoying medical and surgical cases as well as routine work.

I have taught pet first aid for nearly 20 years, write a monthly article for Your Dog Magazine, and regularly travel as far afield as The Falkland Islands to spread the message about reward -based dog training.

Only a qualified Veterinary Surgeon can make diagnoses, prescribe treatments for and perform acupuncture on animals.
