Undervisning
My role has been varied and my teaching experience is broad. Currently my role in undergraduate teaching is limited as I am a full time researcher, although I assist primarily with beef suckler management and herd health. Between 2010 and 2014 I had had the sole responsibility for teaching large animal obstetrics. This is a major subject and includes obstetrics, mastitis and udder pathology. This includes deciding on the course content, teaching style (has included lectures, small groups work, practical workshops, clinics and problem based learning exercises). My teaching, examining and administrative duties with regards to this subject have been identical to those of the full professor I took the role over from. I was also responsible for the examination of veterinary obstetrics, and an examiner for the discipline of Herd Health and Population Medicine.
I also currently teach in the ambulatory clinic (general first opinion practice including bovine, small ruminant, equine and porcine practice), and have taught in the in the school's referral farm animal hospital. I participate in the veterinary school's on call rota which largely consists of bovine and equine practice. Other current undergraduate teaching responsibilities include herd health visits and elective year teaching - particularly in the field of bovine herd health (reproductive herd health and beef cattle) and bovine nutrition.
Prior to 2010 my teaching was largely focused toward clinical ruminant and equine reproduction. My main field of expertise is cattle reproduction. In addition to this I worked extensively in both the ambulatory and stationary production animal clinics, working with cattle, sheep, goats, pigs, and horses as both first opinion and referral cases.
I have held a number of continuing professional development lectures and workshops for practicing veterinary surgeons and have spoken at international conferences.
I have had a role supervising postgraduates who have been working toward their clinical specialization (European College of Bovine Health Management, and European College of Animal Reproduction) and doctoral degrees (PhD).
