New vet school appoints head

University of Surrey introduces founding head

The University of Surrey has announced the appointment of a founding head for its new School of Veterinary Medicine.

Newly appointed Christopher Proudman is expected to begin work at the university in early September 2013.

Professor Proudman will be joining the university from the University of Liverpool, where he worked in numerous managerial and leadership roles for the School of Veterinary Science there, as well as for the wider university and external partnerships.

While Professor Proudman has worked as an equine clinician and clinical teacher for more than 20 years, his current research is focused on equine gastrointestinal health and disease.

Announcing his appointment, Professor Lisa Roberts, dean of the university's faculty of health and medical sciences, said: "I'm delighted to welcome Chris to the University of Surrey to lead the delivery of our exciting new vision for our School of Veterinary Medicine.

"He brings with him a wealth of knowledge and a strong track record of research and leadership, and I very much look forward to working closely with him in the development of the new School."
