Behind VetAPedia stands a team of passionate Veterinarians

Scientific Committee

 

We are here to help build the future of emergency medicine and critical care. This scientific committee was established to guide the development of emergency medicine and critical care at Animal Emergency Service, but we’d like to be able to help you save the sickest pets as well, through interacting over the Vetpedia platform.

The committee is made up of four highly experienced emergency and critical care veterinarians, and our purpose is to review and approve clinical guidelines, provide expert opinion, and answer any questions you may have. Please don’t hesitate to get in touch if you need help with any emergency or critical care related problem, and don’t be shy to give us any feedback or guidance either. Our dream is to make this a place where emergency veterinarians can collaborate and improve the outcomes for the patients we care for.

Dr Rob Webster

Dr Rob Webster

Founding Director AES

I graduated from University of Queensland in 2000, went into emergency medicine, and never left. I completed residency training in emergency and critical care under the supervision of professor Steve Haskins and Dr Bruce Mackay. After attaining FANZCVS qualifications in 2014, I started a residency program through Brisbane’s Pet ICU. My dreams are to see tick paralysis eliminated as a cause of death of dogs and cats in Australia, and for Animal Emergency Service to be the place emergency vets come to save the sickest pets and build the future of emergency medicine and critical care.

I been lucky in finding such a fulfilling career, and I’d like to support other veterinarians who share the same dream.
