Daniel Lewis
Following graduation, Dan worked in mixed practice for 4 years, where he obtained the RCVS Certificate in Veterinary Anaesthesia, before moving to a busy small animal first opinion, emergency & referral hospital in Manchester, UK. He then returned to academia to pursue a Residency in Emergency & Critical Care at the Royal Veterinary College, achieving Diplomate status in the American College of Emergency & Critical Care in September 2011, followed by the European College in 2015. Since completing his Residency, Dan has led the ICUs at the University of Bristol veterinary school hospital, a large hospital in the North-West of England, and VetsNow’s Glasgow Referral Hospital.
Since VetsNow’s acquisition by IVCEvidensia, Dan has become the UK Clinical Lead for ECC, mixing clinical work with a responsibility for all aspects of development of the specialty within the Group, for wider ECC residency training, as well as for integration of ECC teams and services within the IVCEvidensia network throughout Europe.
Clinically, Dan is interested in all aspects of acute medical, surgical and critical care with a particular passion for the stabilisation, investigation and treatment of septic patients as well the management of acute cardiac cases. Due to an increasing recognition of the importance of non-technical skills in successful outcomes for both critical patients and colleagues, he has developed a deep interest in the management of such ‘human factors’ on the clinical floor and is currently pursuing a Level 7 qualification with the International Coaching Federation.
Dan has lectured in the UK, Europe and North America on a variety of ECC topics, as well as conducting workshops in practical techniques and increasingly on non-technical (‘Human Factors’) skills.
