Speaker bio page for Liz Barton

Bio

Liz Barton graduated from Cambridge in 2004. She has had a varied clinical career, including a fabulous first job in the Lake District truly treating all creatures great and small. She then moved to a small animal internship to explore and confirm generalism rather than specialism as her chosen path.  
She has since been a small animal general practitioner, including ECC and shelter medicine.  
Throughout her career her choices have always been balanced with life choices, with various caring responsibilities feeding into major decision points. 
After starting a family and becoming increasingly concerned about the wellbeing of friends and colleagues, Liz started initiatives such as the Vet Mums facebook group and WellVet to help support those living and working in the profession. 
This led to career diversification, including everything from event management to website creation and forum moderation. Liz has written extensively on wellbeing, women’s health and parenting in the profession. This led to career diversification into PR and marketing and most recently, she joined VetCT as Head of Communications, where she has truly found her home with a company whose goal is to support veterinary teams by providing round the clock clinical support from specialists.
