Dr Rachel Dean

Director of Clinical Research and Excellence in Practice
I lead our Clinical Board to develop and support clinical communities across all our businesses.
I have worked as a vet in many clinical settings, from being an ambulatory farm vet and a specialist feline clinician to working in charity clinics. I have also spent significant amounts of time teaching and undertaking clinical research.
I hold an MSc in evidence-based medicine, a PhD in epidemiology, a diploma in feline medicine, and am a senior fellow of the Higher Education Authority and Fellow of the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons.
I joined VetPartners in 2018 and enjoy working with the clinical network of dedicated volunteers from across our practices.
I spend a lot of my own time outdoors in the Peak District with my family, and love live music, running, reading and catching up with friends.
