Rebecca Howard

Rebecca teaches principally on BVMS, with a particular focus on farm animal health, welfare and husbandry. She is a Lecturer in Veterinary Education and a production animal veterinary surgeon. Her other special interest is in immunology.

Currently, Rebecca divides her time between working for us as a veterinary education lecturer, and working in clinical production animal medicine and surgery at a practice in the Lake District. She also provides tutoring for international students who need support with veterinary communication skills and passing their RCVS exams.

Rebecca graduated in veterinary medicine and surgery from the University of Cambridge, after also completing an intercalated degree in cognitive neuroscience. She completed a Junior Production Animal Scholarship at Cambridge, the year following graduation. She worked as a production animal vet since then in practices based in the North of England before joining the team at UCLan to prioritise her career in veterinary education.
