WikiVet Team

Nick Short Nick works at the Royal Veterinary College and is one of the founding members of the WikiVet project and is currently overseeing strategic development. He is also involved in working with veterinary schools and other publishers to establish collaborative partnerships. Nick has a particular interest in making content available as free resources wherever possible. In particular he has been working on new ways to increase access to WikiVet in developing countries.

Asher Allison Asher is our main technical support and is responsible for maintaining the server, extensions, providing templates for the general design and lots of other useful stuff. As he is currently very busy with his finals, Brian is here to give a hand when necessary.

Barbora Stanikova Barbora has started as one of the very first authors of WikiVet and is currently the content editor. She is reorganising the site structure and is trying to achieve some kind of sensible order to it all. She also supervises authors.

Liz Mossop BVM&S MMedSci (Clin Ed) MAcadMEd, MRCVS Liz is one of our steering group members. She is a lecturer at Nottingham Veterinary School and her job involves developing the curriculum as well as teaching, both clinical and non clinical subjects. She is particularly interested in teaching professional skills and her research looks at this area. She is a first opinion equine clinician with experience of mixed and equine practice. Liz has been involved in WikiVet in small ways since its inception and it is a great example of a successful collaborative project between the UK vet schools. Recently her involvement has increased not least because of a desire to include some of the virtual patients they have been producing at Nottingham under a separate project. You should start to see these appear at relevant points within WikiVet and we are hoping to create a Virtual Veterinary Hospital eventually!

Zoe Belshaw Zoe is a clinical lecturer in small animal medicine at the University of Nottingham where she is involved in lecturing as well as doing clinical work and research. She joined the steering group with an interest in improving access to veterinary resources for students and vets in developing countries. Zoe is working with Liz Mossop on developing virtual patients and looking at different ways to improve the clinical material on WikiVet.

Susan Rhind Susan works at the Royal (Dick) School of Veterinary Studies and has been involved in the wikivet project since the beginning when the project started with a focus on pathology. Susan is interested in lots off things to do with teaching and learning and is currently developing video resources to support pathology teaching and a digital veterinary museum which she hopes to make available through WikiVet in the near future.
