Kevin Parsons graduated from the University of Bristol in 2000. He then worked in small animal and mixed practice in Devon and Cornwall for three years before completing a small animal internship, a PhD (in the field of locomotor biomechanics) and a three-year residency in small animal surgery at the Royal Veterinary College, London.
He attained his RCVS Certificate in Small Animal Surgery in 2009 and his European Diploma in Small Animal Surgery in 2011. Kevin moved back to Bristol University in 2010 where he is now clinical lead in small animal orthopaedics.
