Brian graduated from the Edinburgh School of Veterinary Studies 1996 and worked in a predominantly small animal practice for one year before taking up an intern position at the Liphook Equine Hospital, Hampshire, for two years.

There then followed two years of ambulatory equine practice in Sussex at the Arundel equine hospital before returning to Scotland to undertake a
residency program in equine medicine, with special reference to
ophthalmology in conjunction with the companion animal ophthalmology referral service. Brian received the certificate in veterinary ophthalmology in 2003 and am currently working towards a masters degree based on veterinary ophthalmology.

Outside of work any free time allows for muddy walks with my five year old Springer spaniel and marathon training and running.
