Electrolytes Made Simple - CPD Solutions’ Webinar Club

Electrolytes Made Simple
Mini Series

Electrolyte abnormalities can be complex, challenging and sometimes intimidating to manage. In these sessions we will focus on one electrolyte per session. In each case, we’ll look at the physiology that controls each electrolyte to help us understand how and why they become abnormal. We’ll then focus in on a problem-based approach to diagnosing and managing each abnormality, spending time discussing how we can resolve the electrolyte abnormalities and their consequences safely, and how we diagnose and treat specific diseases that cause these abnormalities.

EBVS Specialist in Small Animal Internal Medicine

Dan graduated from Cambridge University in 2013. He completed two and a half years in small animal general practice in both a small local practice and then a large hospital, where he undertook his RCVS certificate. Dan returned to Cambridge to complete a rotating internship, and then in November 2016 he began his residency training in small animal internal medicine at the same institution. In 2019, after completing his residency, Dan moved to Davies Veterinary Specialists, joining the team as an Internal Medicine Clinician. He passed his ECVIM board exams in 2021.

Dan’s main clinical interest is in endocrinology and its associated pathologies and abnormalities. He has published multiple articles in this field and has delivered CPD across Europe and America on this subject. As part of his role at Davies, Dan has been residency programme director for internal medicine, head of internal medicine, and is now currently the Internship and Emergency Service Director, retaining a strong interest in clinical training and progression within the veterinary profession.
