Campus: Hawkshead
Research Centres: Veterinary Epidemiology, Economics and Public Health
Imogen is a PhD student within the Veterinary Epidemiology, Economics and Public Health group working within the VetCompass™ team. Her project is entitled Re-inventing the diagnosis and management of Canine Hyperadrenocorticism.
Imogen obtained her Bachelor of Veterinary Science from the University of Bristol in 2013. She worked in first opinion small animal practice for three years before obtaining her MSc in Veterinary Epidemiology in 2017 from the RVC and London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine. Imogen now works with the VetCompass team as a PhD student investigating the diagnosis and management of canine hyperadrenocorticism.
Imogen's PhD aims to develop novel methods in the diagnosis and monitoring of canine hyperadrenocorticism as well as continuing to expand on the work done by the VetCompass team. Imogen's project is funded by Dechra and is supervised by Dr Dan O'Neill, Prof David Brodbelt, Prof Stijn Niessen and Prof David Church.

Vet Compass Project Type: Dog
This project, funded by Dechra, aims to determine better methods for the earlier detection and monitoring of hyperadrenocorticism in dogs. More effective diagnosis and monitoring may result in improved quality of life.

Vet Compass Project
VetCompass is a welfare-focussed epidemiological research project that shares anonymised clinical data from veterinary practices to investigate the frequency and nature of companion animal health problems.
Modern veterinary medicine has access to increasingly effective tools for diagnosis and treatment; yet many animals still continue to suffer from disorders that might be reduced or avoided if risks were better understood and measured.
