Royal Veterinary College appoints equine lameness surgeon Andy Fiske-Jackson to lead equine practices

England's Royal Veterinary College (RVC) announced today that equine surgeon Andy Fiske-Jackson, BVSc, MVetMed, FHEA, Dipl.ECVS, MRCVS will be the new Head of its "RVC Equine" division. Fiske-Jackson is known for his research in diagnostic techniques for digital flexor tendon sheath injuries, clinical applications of objective gait analysis, and treatment of poor performance cases.

In his new role he will oversee both the RVC Equine Referral Hospital and the off-campus RVC Equine Practice, in Hatfield, Hertfordshire. Together, the hospital and practice deliver specialist expertise and first-opinion veterinary care for horses, ponies and donkeys.

According to the school, the RVC Equine division is recognised globally for its outstanding clinical services and contribution to evidence-based equine medicine, with clinical, teaching, and research work informing best practice in equine health and welfare. 

Areas of expertise and interest include laminitis, poor performance treatments, and surgical techniques. Both the hospital and the practice support the training of undergraduate veterinary students and equine veterinary specialists-in-training.
