Oli graduated from the University of Bristol in 2015, initially working in a busy primary care veterinary hospital in Somerset, before returning to the University of Bristol to undertake a rotating internship, additionally collecting a post-graduate diploma in veterinary clinical practice. 

Subsequently, he moved to Highcroft Referrals for a surgical internship, before embarking upon a three-year ECVS residency in small animal surgery. Following the residency programme, Oli worked as a clinician in the surgery department at Cave Veterinary Specialists, passing the ECVS board-certifying examination in 2023 to becoming an EBVS and RCVS specialist in small animal surgery, before creating Avalon Veterinary Services Ltd in 2024. 

He is enthusiastic about all areas of soft tissue surgery, with particular interest in oncological resection/reconstruction, brachycephalic obstructive airway syndrome (BOAS) and feline surgery. Oli has several publications in prominent veterinary journals and enjoys delivering CPD to discuss all things surgery. 

When not in theatre, Oli is usually found either in the garden, walking, cycling or spending some quality time with his cat.
