We were very sorry to lose Andrew Sparkes, Danièlle Gunn-Moore and Ros Gaskell from the board but are delighted to welcome Martha and Stuart. We are so pleased that Andy and Danièlle will continue to work with us – Andy is editor of the Journal of Feline Medicine and Surgery, and Danièlle is a member of the ESFM committee, as well as both inputting regularly on feline issues – we value their expertise greatly.’
Martha Cannon was an FAB resident at Bristol and now runs her own feline only first opinion and referral practice in Oxford. Stuart has recently left Glasgow Veterinary School and is National Hospitals’ Director for Vetsnow.
FAB continues to grow and face the challenges of finding funding, good governance, best strategy and providing clear, up to date and reliable information on all things feline.
