American, European and RCVS Recognised Specialist in Emergency and Critical Care Following graduation in 1995 from The University of Cambridge, Dan worked in mixed practice for five years, where he gained the RCVS Certificate in Veterinary Anaesthesia. In 2000, he moved to Petmedics, a large hospital-based emergency clinic in Manchester, where he remained for eight years. In 2008 Dan embarked upon a residency at The Royal Veterinary College, obtaining his Diploma in Emergency & Critical Care in 2011. Following this, Dan spent a period in charge of the ICU at Bristol vet school before returning to Petmedics. Dan joined the Vets Now 24/7 Emergency and Specialty Hospital, Glasgow in January 2015 as part of our existing ECC team and has since been promoted to National ECC Lead. Dan is interested in all aspects of critical care, but particularly in septic patients and poorly cats, as well as being a keen advocate of the development of non-technical skills in ECC teams, as he believes that these ultimately have the greatest impact on ourselves, our colleagues, and therefore our patients.
