Clinical Profile

I have worked as a Specialist in Equine Internal Medicine since 2004, becoming the first ACVIM large animal diplomate to work in UK private equine practice. I see all equine medicine cases, including critical care adults and foals, and enjoy working as part of a multi-disciplinary specialist team at B&W Equine Hospital. My particular interests are Equine Gastric Ulceration Syndrome (my Masters and PhD topics, I am also a member of the ECEIM Consensus committee on EGUS); and equine neurology especially spinal compression in performance horses (I am a contributing author to the 2nd edition of the textbook of Equine Neurology). I am an FEI treating vet at Badminton Horse Trials and at the London International Horse Show.
