Barney Dean BVSc PGDip(VCP) CertAVP PGCertVetEd DipECVS MRCVS; EBVS® European Specialist and RCVS-Recognised Specialist in Small Animal SurgeryI am a positive, friendly specialist small animal surgeon who works well in a team and is happy to manage soft tissue and orthopaedic cases. While I still care for all soft tissue and orthopaedic cases, I have a particular interest in surgical oncology, and strive to guide owners through their pet's complex cancer care in an informative yet sympathetic manner.Over the last few years I have taken on more teaching and training roles both nationally and internationally, including practical training, congress presentations, certificate training, and numerous lectures and webinars. In late 2022 I put together two and a half years of planning and development and launched my own independent veterinary surgical CPD company, Chiron Vet CPD. I aim to bring together my love of surgery and teaching, with the booming demand for bespoke, convenience services, and to make high-quality surgical CPD more accessible and flexible.
