In Jerry’s own words,
I graduated from the UCD and did a number of years of small animal work in England immediately after graduation. I developed an interest in surgery working for a short period in the RSPCA animal hospital in Birmingham. I have worked in small animal surgical referrals in Ireland, England, Scotland, New Zealand the USA and in France.
I obtained my certificate in Small Animal Surgery while working In Fitzpatrick Referrals in the South of England and following that I returned to the UCD Veterinary Hospital to complete a small animal surgical residency. Since then I have worked in the Maison Alfort Vet School in Paris and most recently in Glasgow University Small Animal Veterinary Hospital.
Over the last three years I have worked in a specialist referral hospital for a large corporate practice. I felt I needed to move on as I did not believe that the patient’s best interests are served in this type of environment and I wanted a more personal approach to the clients and their pets.
I want clients and vets to get better use of my approach and I want them to have personal confidence in me.
I have an interest in both soft tissue surgery and orthopaedics and my long period of time working in primary care practice has given me a realistic understanding of the challenges we face as surgeons in practice.
