Biography
Since qualifying as a veterinary surgeon, the majority of Austin's professional career has been spent in first opinion small animal practice, where he still works full time.
He has been a past member of RCVS Council and served on Disciplinary and Preliminary Investigation Committees, becoming the chairman of the latter for two years. On leaving Council he became a Director Trustee of the Veterinary Benevolent Fund and chaired VetHelpLine for a period of six years, as well as increasing his role with St George’s University, Grenada, West Indies, where he is now an Assistant Clinical Dean for the UK and Ireland.
Austin has a particular interest in medical ethics and how this is taught to undergraduates and transposed to practice, especially from the point of view of business management.
