Hamish Duncan BVM&S CertSAM MRCVS

The Centre is owned and run by veterinary surgeon Hamish Duncan. Hamish qualified from Edinburgh University in 1997 and has worked in Halifax, Halesowen and most recently on the east coast of Fife in Scotland, before moving to Great Wyrley to set up his own independent practice. In 2004 he passed an additional specialist qualification - a Certificate in Small Animal Medicine (CertSAM). Certificates are post graduate examinations run by the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons and are the highest qualifications that vets can achieve outside specialist centres. Only 1 in 100 vets across the country has this qualification and level of medical expertise and Hamish is the only CertSAM holder locally. Hamish has a huge amount of experience from his years in practice and from working alongside other certificate holders as well as recognized specialists in orthopaedics and surgery.
