Malcolm graduated from the University of Glasgow in 1983 and completed an internship in small animal medicine and surgery at the University of Pennsylvania the following year. In 1988 he received an MVS degree from the University of Melbourne after finishing a residency in small animal surgery, and the same year gained membership of the Australian College of Veterinary Scientists.
Malcolm gained the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons Diploma in Small Animal Surgery (Orthopaedics) in 1991 and has been a Specialist in Small Animal Orthopaedics since 1992. He received the British Small Animal Veterinary Association Simon award in 1995 for outstanding contributions in the field of veterinary surgery, and is past chairman of the British Veterinary Orthopaedic Association. Malcolm has a particular interest in joint replacements, complex fracture management and spinal surgery in the dog.
In 1992 Malcolm and Peter Renwick founded Willows Veterinary Centre and Referral Service. In common they had a desire to provide a first class specialist service to dog and cat owners’ and referring veterinary surgeons, and to work alongside like-minded individuals in a hospital with state-of-the-art facilities. Their dream has been realised by creating one of Europe’s premier small animal veterinary hospitals.
Malcolm lives on a small farm with his family, three Border terriers, eight British Short Hair cats, three Pygmy goats, a couple of pigs and numerous hens and ducks.
