Joe Angell BVSc MSc DipLSHTM PhD MRCVS graduated from the University of
Liverpool in 2008 before entering mixed practice in north Wales. Whilst in
practice he carried out research into drunken lamb syndrome and after 3 years
he returned to Liverpool to do a PhD in the epidemiology of contagious ovine
digital dermatitis (CODD) whilst concurrently doing an MSc in Epidemiology at
the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine and continuing to locum
in practice. After completing his PhD and MSc in 2015 he spent a further
period in full time academia at Liverpool before returning to practice. He now
carries out day to day clinical duties, is an Honorary Lecturer at the
University of Liverpool, a non-executive director of the Moredun Foundation, and continues to carry out research on a variety of
themes, as well as some consultancy.
