MA, VetMB, Cert SAO, Dip ECVN, MRCVS (European and RCVS Specialist in Veterinary Neurology). Paul Freeman has had a varied career spanning more than 30 years, beginning his working life as a mixed general practice vet. He developed a role as a referral orthopaedic surgeon, before in 2008 he began an alternative track residency in neurology based at Cambridge University. This led eventually to the European Diploma in Veterinary Neurology in 2014, as well as RCVS and European Specialist status. Paul became Principal Clinical Neurologist at the Queen’s Veterinary School Hospital, University of Cambridge in 2016, and since that time the neurology service in Cambridge has grown rapidly. Paul now works with four senior specialist colleagues, as well as supervising three residents, a PhD student and a Masters student. His main research interests are spinal cord injury, in particular canine intervertebral disc herniation and fenestration. Paul has published a number of studies and reviews since beginning his career as a neurologist, and has lectured widely both in the UK and overseas. In 2020 he co-authored a new textbook of neurology aimed at general practitioners which was very well received. Textbook: ‘A Practical Approach to Neurology for the Small Animal Practitioner’.
