University of Nottingham appoints 10 of the UK's leading clinicians
Professor Madeline Campbell (pictured) will be sharing her knowledge and expertise in the field of veterinary ethics with students.

Respected vets to enhance school's teaching experience

The School of Veterinary Medicine and Sciences at the University of Nottingham has appointed ten high profile professionals to take on teaching roles across the school.

The new recruits are highly respected within the profession, with international reputations for clinical practice, research and teaching.

They are Professors Madeline Campbell, Jackie Demetriou, Gareth Arthurs, Freddie Corletto, Mark Dunning, Rob Foale, Jon Hall and Alex Smithson, and Drs Steve Shaw and Toby Trimble.

These clinicians will work with the undergraduate and postgraduate students, as well as those on the School's Apprenticeship Programme; covering topics including veterinary ethics and law; small animal orthopaedics, internal medicine, soft tissue surgery, anaesthesia, dentistry, and dermatology; and veterinary leadership.

Madeleine Campbell, professor of Veterinary Ethics, said: “I am delighted to be taking up this Professor of Practice role, which perfectly aligns Nottingham's vision of a holistic veterinary education and my own ambition to drive forward the development of veterinary ethics as a truly applied discipline which underwrites the many roles which vets play within society.

“This is a fantastic opportunity to promote the relevance of veterinary ethics to clinical practice, research, and policy formulation, both within Nottingham's undergraduate curriculum and postgraduate CPD programmes, and through external collaborations.”

The School’s director of Continuing Professional Development (CPD) Professor Rob White said: “We are delighted by these appointments and they are a real coup for the School.

“The appointments will integrate with the current staff within the School to enhance both the UG and PG teaching experience and will provide students with an opportunity to work with some of the best and most experienced clinicians in the country.”

Government releases latest bluetongue statistics

APHA has confirmed the number of bluetongue cases that have been logged in the UK since 1 July 2026.

The total number of BTV-3 cases, as of 6 August, is 187. This includes 183 cases in England and four cases in Wales.

There have been no recorded cases in Scotland and Northern Ireland.

The location of premises in Great Britain where at least one animal has tested positive by PCR for BTV-3, BTV-8 or BTV-12 is available on the bluetongue case map. All livestock keepers in Great Britain are urged to familiarise themselves with nation-specific bluetongue control policies.

Bluetongue virus is a notifiable disease. It is a legal requirement that any suspicions, even if livestock has been vaccinated, are reported immediately.
