European Specialist in Equine Surgery

After obtaining a degree in agriculture from Edinburgh University in 1988, Dylan spent several years working with cattle and horses in South Africa, Newmarket, and Kentucky. He then studied veterinary science at Bristol University, graduating with distinction in 1998. Following an internship in equine surgery at the Royal Veterinary College in London, Dylan moved to Manchester where he investigated the role of growth factors in abdominal adhesion formation, completing his PhD in 2003. He then undertook a three year residency at Liverpool University, and obtained the Royal College Certificate in Equine Soft Tissue Surgery. He obtained the European Diploma in Equine Surgery in 2008. Dylan's primary interests are gastroenterology and wound healing, and has presented internationally on these subjects. In addition, he has extensive experience in the use of minimally invasive endoscopic techniques such as laparoscopy and laser surgery. He has a Norwegian wife, who is a small animal vet at Stromsholm, and two young boys. Outside work, he enjoys walking with his two Border Collies, Tegg and Bala.
