BVetMed DipACVIM DipECEIM MSc (Clin Onc) SFHEA FRCVS
Anna's professional focus is on equine internal medicine, with a particular research interest in clinical equine oncology. As a Teaching Professor, she is passionate about optimising the provision of appropriate support for students, especially neurodivergent students reading veterinary medicine, and is working to help level the educational playing field.
Anna studied at the Royal Veterinary College, University of London, graduating with a Distinction in Equine Studies in 2004. She has worked at the University of Pennsylvania, the Royal Veterinary College, and the Animal Health Trust, as well as in private equine veterinary practices in the UK and Ireland. She was appointed into her current role as Teaching Professor and Director of Clinical Equine Services in the Department of Veterinary Medicine in 2020.
Anna is a member of the examination committee for the European College of Equine Internal Medicine, and has been appointed as co-chair of the committee for the 2024-2025 examination cycle. She has also been a member of the examination committee for the American College of Veterinary Internal Medicine. She is an external examiner for the undergraduate veterinary degree and for the MRes degree programme at the University of Nottingham.
Anna has postgraduate certificates in teaching and learning in higher education and in medical education, and holds the title of SFHEA in recognition of her leadership in higher education. She is a RCVS, American, and European Recognised Specialist in Equine Internal Medicine. She gained an MSc in Clinical Oncology with Distinction in 2019 and is still the only equine veterinarian in the world with this qualification.
Anna was awarded a Fellowship of the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons (FRCVS) for meritous contribution to clinical practice in 2023.
Anna's research is primarily focused on equine oncology, most notably equine skin tumours. She has published articles in several peer-reviewed, leading veterinary journals, as well as various book chapters. She has been asked to author a new chapter on equine oncology in the renowned Textbook of Equine Internal Medicine (Reed, Bayly and Sellon) and to co-author a similar chapter in the Textbook of Equine Surgery (Auer and Stick), which are key texts for the post-graduate Diplomas in the subjects. She is editing a special issue of Veterinary Clinics of North America in Equine Oncology. Anna is delighted that equine oncology is finally being given the attention it deserves, as it has historically been an underserved area within veterinary medicine, with these notable texts raising awareness of those who may not otherwise read the clinical research in the subject area.
Anna is also passionate about veterinary education. In addition to her roles within the University and in the support of postgraduate education across the European and American Diplomas, she is developing a national profile in her work on veterinary education. She is especially interested in enabling neurodivergent veterinary students to access appropriate support, and is currently leading an exciting RCVS project developing guidelines for educators in this area. This has recently expanded into membership of a working group developing educational resources for the support and development of neurodivergent veterinary employees, a project that was launched in April 2024.
