He has a specific interest in surgery, recently completing an ESVPS (European School of Veterinary Postgraduate Studies) General Practitioner Certificate in Small Animal Surgery. This has further developed the surgical expertise he brings to the practice. Mark and his wife are parents of a young son so spare time is at a premium but he can be seen cycling the lanes of Hertfordshire on weekends off or training for the London marathon which he regularly takes part in.
