University of Nottingham appoints 10 of the UK's leading clinicians
Professor Madeline Campbell (pictured) will be sharing her knowledge and expertise in the field of veterinary ethics with students.

Respected vets to enhance school's teaching experience

The School of Veterinary Medicine and Sciences at the University of Nottingham has appointed ten high profile professionals to take on teaching roles across the school.

The new recruits are highly respected within the profession, with international reputations for clinical practice, research and teaching.

They are Professors Madeline Campbell, Jackie Demetriou, Gareth Arthurs, Freddie Corletto, Mark Dunning, Rob Foale, Jon Hall and Alex Smithson, and Drs Steve Shaw and Toby Trimble.

These clinicians will work with the undergraduate and postgraduate students, as well as those on the School's Apprenticeship Programme; covering topics including veterinary ethics and law; small animal orthopaedics, internal medicine, soft tissue surgery, anaesthesia, dentistry, and dermatology; and veterinary leadership.

Madeleine Campbell, professor of Veterinary Ethics, said: “I am delighted to be taking up this Professor of Practice role, which perfectly aligns Nottingham's vision of a holistic veterinary education and my own ambition to drive forward the development of veterinary ethics as a truly applied discipline which underwrites the many roles which vets play within society.

“This is a fantastic opportunity to promote the relevance of veterinary ethics to clinical practice, research, and policy formulation, both within Nottingham's undergraduate curriculum and postgraduate CPD programmes, and through external collaborations.”

The School’s director of Continuing Professional Development (CPD) Professor Rob White said: “We are delighted by these appointments and they are a real coup for the School.

“The appointments will integrate with the current staff within the School to enhance both the UG and PG teaching experience and will provide students with an opportunity to work with some of the best and most experienced clinicians in the country.”

 Two recently graduated veterinary surgeons will be running the London Marathon in April to raise money for the charity World Animal Protection.

Alex Bartlett and Maeve O'Neill plan to run the race together if they are given the same start times.

Dr O'Neill said: "You're always limited in what you can do to help animals, so it is nice to raise money for a charity that helps animals around the world."

Dr Bartlett added: "I have never run a marathon before and am excited to run my first one for such a good cause!"

Both Dr Bartlett and Dr O'Neill have fundraising pages online.

BSAVA releases new Guide to Procedures

The British Small Animal Veterinary Association (BSAVA) has published a new edition of its Guide to Procedures for Small Animal Practice.

It has added four new procedures; cystostomy tube placement, endotracheal intubation, point-of-care ultrasound and wet-to-dry dressings.

BSAVA says that it is an essential step-by-step guide to diagnostic and therapeutic procedures performed in practice. The textbook includes new images and illustrations, as well as high-definition videos for use prior to procedures.

Nick Bexfield and Julia Riggs, editors of the new edition, said: "We have built upon the success of the previous editions by responding to the feedback received from the BSAVA readership, and hope this new guide helps to further increase the confidence and accuracy with which these procedures are performed."

Print copies are available in the BSAVA store, with a digital version in the BSAVA library.
