Background
Alisdair graduated from the Royal Veterinary College, University of London after completing an intercalated BSc in Immunology and Pathology at King’s College, University of London.
He then worked in small animal practice in Derbyshire for a year before heading to Tufts University, Massachusetts, USA to complete a Small Animal Internship.
Following a return to small animal practice Alisdair completed a PhD at the Royal Veterinary College, London focussed on the genetic and immunological basis of hypoadrenocorticism in dogs. He completed this in 2014 before joining the R(D)SVS as a Resident in Internal Medicine.
Alisdair has a Border terrier called Brock and a black cat called Kipper.
