his internship year, he moved to Washington
State University where he completed a three
year ACVS surgical residency and Master’s
program and was awarded numerous scholarships including for teaching and for his research in exercise science.
Wesley graduated from the vet school in Dublin
in 2002. Following a short stint in mixed practice
in the midlands, he spent 17 years in practice
in Limerick before joining Elanco Ireland, as a
veterinary technical consultant, in 2019. Wesley
has always had a keen interest in Veterinary Dermatology, achieving a certi昀椀cate in Veterinary
Dermatology through the RCVS in 2011 and being
recognised as an RCVS Advanced Practitioner in
Veterinary Dermatology in 2012. During his latter
5 years in clinical practice, he established a dermatology referral clinic, as part of his practice in
Limerick.
Ciarán became a Diplomate of the American
College of Veterinary Surgery (DACVS) in
Small Animal Surgery and a Diplomate
of the European College of Veterinary Surgery (DECVS) in Small Animal Surgery in 2019.
Ciaran has worked as a specialist surgeon
in North America, the UK and Ireland and
currently works at MyVet Referrals, Dublin.
Outside of work, he is passionate about
rugby, tennis, golf, and travelling with friends
and family. Ciarán has a particular interest in
arthroscopy, minimally invasive techniques,
fracture repair and spinal surgery.
Wesley has a particular interest in the practical aspects of dermatology, especially integrating cytology into clinical practice, to
improve patient outcomes and enhance the
owner experience. Large animal dermatology is
often a neglected area of veterinary practice and
is another area of interest.
In his current role with Elanco, Wesley is the
veterinary technical lead for dermatology in the
UK and Ireland.
