Phil Barr BVSc Cert SAM MRCVS

Phil Barr qualified from Bristol University Vet School in 1991 and after a year in ‘exotic’ animal practice where he did his best to treat the odd monkey, meercat and crocodile, he made the sensible move back to normal small animal practice (dogs, cats and other small pets). He then gained a further RCVS qualification in Small Animal Medicine in 1998, and joined Wood Street Veterinary Hospital as a partner in 2001.  Phil is enthusiastic about all aspects of veterinary practice with special emphasis on medical investigation techniques such as ultrasound and endoscopy. He is presently studying for a further qualification in cardiology. At home Phil has some happy geriatric cats as well as a wife and small child to ensure his time is fully occupied!
