Paul Wood, BVetMed, MSc, PGDipVetEd, FHEA, MRCVS, graduated from the RVC in 2005 and spent 18 months working in mixed practice across Hertfordshire, Bedfordshire and Buckinghamshire. He then moved around doing small animal and exotic animal locum positions before starting a year-long MSc in wild animal health with ZSL London.

After completing this degree, he returned to the RVC as a farm animal clinician working in both the ambulatory and referral practices. After three years at the RVC, Paul had a brief foray into industry, providing maternity cover as an area veterinary manager for Pfizer Animal Health. In 2012, he joined the farm department at the University of Cambridge, where he developed the ambulatory, referral and consultancy services that were offered. During this time, he completed his post-graduate diploma in veterinary education.

Since October 2016, Paul has taken up a role as senior lecturer in farm animal practice at the Royal (Dick) School of Veterinary Studies, University of Edinburgh. Paul’s interests lay in fertility and obstetrics, surgery, calf health, individual farm animal medicine and management and veterinary education and student support.
