Dr John Burford
BVetMed, PhD, DipECVS, MRCVS

John qualified from Cambridge and after undertaking an internship and PhD at the Royal Veterinary College moved to the University of Liverpool to complete his surgical residency.
He has been at the University of Nottingham since 2010 where he continues to perform referral surgery for clinical associate practices of the veterinary school. John is also actively engaged in research which focuses on colic, particularly in first opinion practice, the welfare of working equids abroad and also exploring the role of digital technologies in practice and client education. John is a Specialist in Equine Surgery and is currently one of the youngest Fellows of the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons. 

His topics of interest include equine surgery and diagnostic imaging and medical statistics and evidence-based medicine.

With regards motorbikes, John would much rather his bikes have a big set of knobbly tyres and are covered in mud. His first bike was a Honda CRM250 (feel free to discuss his opinions on how this was the best trail bike ever made), followed by a succession of off-road KTMs.
We don’t know what John rides at the moment, as his last KTM blew a head gasket on an Hungarian motorway.
