Biography

Richard is a specialist in the area of veterinary anaesthesia and an academic clinician teaching throughout the course at Nottingham. He was awarded a first class honours degree in applied biology in 1987, a degree in veterinary medicine in 1991 and a PhD in 1999 in the area of Biochemical Pharmacology. He holds both RCVS and European Diplomas in Veterinary Anaesthesia and is an RCVS recognised specialist in that field. As well as having experience of clinical general veterinary practice, Richard has spent time working in the commercial operation of a major pharmaceutical company and as an academic educator at a number of other veterinary schools in the UK. Richard was awarded a Prize for outstanding contribution to teaching from the Royal Veterinary College in 2005 and fellowship of the Higher Education Academy for his work in curriculum design and integration.

Current Research

Current Research Richard has active research in the area of inflammatory airway disease as well as in educational development with a special interest in assessment strategy. In collaboration with the Centre for Respiratory research within the University of Nottingham Richard is currently investigating the role of lipoxins in the modification of inflammatory airway disease. This work uses the equine recurrent airway obstruction (RAO) disease model to study inflammatory signaling pathways and the development of chronic recurrent airway inflammation in response to inhaled pathogens and molecular patterns. The current hypothesis is that: Lipoxins modulate inflammatory airway responses in the horse. Dysfunction of lipoxin signaling contributes to the development or exacerbation of equine RAO. In addition, as part of a major collaborative initiative with other members of the School of Veterinary medicine and Science, the Schools of Education and Pharmacy, and the Royal Veterinary College London, Richard is studying clinical workplace learning using the model of the undergraduate clinical training experiences at SVMS and the Royal Vet College. This three year project, funded by the Higher Education Authority, will answer the following questions:

• How does workplace learning facilitate the students' development towards becoming a successful clinician?
• How may workplace learning best support lifelong learning?
• How does prior experience, personality and learning style influence workplace learning?

The aim is to produce generic outcomes that may be used across UK and international vocational education, with a view to enhancing this key component of the undergraduate experience. More information may be found at: http://www.eclw.ac.uk/index.html
