Richard is Director of Teleconsulting for VET.CT - leading a team of over 60 veterinary specialists and heading digital service that offers specialist case advice, management and support directly into primary practice. Previous roles included clinical director, referral soft tissue and orthopaedic surgeon at Vale Referrals - a multidisciplinary referral and primary practice based in the South West of England helping to lead a team of 20 vets and around 100 employees. Alongside clinical work and managerial responsibilities, Richard also held a role within IVC Evidensia as a strategic Referral Business Development Exec - looking at how primary care practices and referral practices can work more closely together to ensure optimal patient care. Richard has a number of non-clinical interests and holds an MBA focused on organisational change in the veterinary industry as well as postgraduate (ILM7) qualifications in coaching and mentoring. Richards' real passion lies in the space that is emerging between veterinary teams, specialist care and owner/patient-centric care - where integrated collaboration and the ability to leverage technology with new models of working can improve patient care.
