Sue has recently been appointed to the Chair in Veterinary Nursing with responsibility for leading the strategic development of veterinary nursing education within the collegiate, national and international arena.
Biography
Sue Gregory qualified from the Royal Veterinary College in 1985. She spent the first 6 months in small animal practice before spending three years in the Department of Veterinary Surgery, University of Bristol as a Junior Fellow in Surgery. During that period she gained the RCVS Certificate and Diploma in Veterinary Radiology. Sue then spent 6 months as a temporary resident in small animal surgery at Cambridge University before returning to Bristol to do a PhD in the Department of Surgery.
Sue returned to the Royal Veterinary College when she was appointed as a Lecturer in Small Animal Surgery in 1992. She has remained there since then, gaining the RCVS Diploma in Small Animal Surgery (soft tissue) in 1996, becoming a fellow of the Higher Education Academy and an RCVS specialist in small animal (soft tissue) surgery.
Sue became a Senior Lecturer in 2001 and has just been appointed to the new chair in Veterinary Nursing. In this role she will play an important leadership role in extending the Department’s performance in teaching, clinical expertise and research in veterinary nursing. Sue will continue to undertake an active role in teaching and will be contributing to the college’s educational and support programmes for veterinary nursing.
Research
Sues research interests are mainly clinical, however she anticipates that in her new role this may broaden to include areas of animal welfare and veterinary medical education.
Teaching
Sue currently runs the Urogenital 2 Module in BVetMed year 4 and teaches small animal surgery on this module. She is also a module leader for the new Graduate Diploma in Professional and Clinical Veterinary Nursing. In addition Sue contributes to teaching the veterinary undergraduates on rotations and currently also has responsibilities for student support as the Senior Clinical tutor and student assessment, particularly the objective structured clinical examinations (OSCE’s).
Clinical
Sues main clinical interests are urogenital tract, gastrointestinal tract and ENT surgery in dogs and cats. Other interests are preventing hospital acquired infections and teaching and learning in veterinary education.
