Mark graduated from the University of Queensland. After working in small animal practice in Australia and the United Kingdom, he joined the Emergency service at University of Melbourne in 1997. After spending many years in this field he still enjoys the challenging cases that are brought in to the hospital and feels privileged that he is entrusted with caring for someone’s pet in a time of potential crisis. His special interests lie in the field of clinical veterinary toxicology. Outside of work he enjoys open water swimming (when he is fit enough!) and gardening.
