In addition to the specialist training of residents and the teaching of final year veterinary(BVetMed) students in the dermatology clinic, Anke contributes to the dermatology teaching of graduate accelerated entry, year 2 and 3 BVetMed students and FdVN course students. She is also  involved with BVetMed communication skills training and the MMedVet programme.

Anke is a former BVetMed course director, leader of the BVetMed skin strand, MMedVet module leader, and chair of the MSc VetEd exam board. She is also the ECVD residency training programme director.  

Anke is interested in all aspects of small animal skin disease, including ear disease.
