Our first PhDs!

Congratulations to Julie Jones-Diette and Natalie Robinson who have been awarded the first PhDs through the CEVM.

Julie passed her viva just before Christmas. Julie's thesis is entitled "Establishment of methods for extracting and analysing patient data from electronic practice management software systems used in first opinion veterinary practice in the UK". Julie is leaving us to become a Senior Analyst in Medical Informatics for a new team in human clinical epidemiology at Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust.

Natalie defended her PhD thesis entitled ”Use of sentinel practices to obtain data regarding common clinical conditions and presentations in small animal consultations” earlier this month. Natalie is now a Post-doctoral Research Fellow in Veterinary Practice-based Research in the CEVM.

Well done both!
