Greg Simpson qualified as a veterinarian in South Africa, working in the United Kingdom, Central Asia and Africa. After receiving a Masters Public Health in Developing Countries, as well as a Masters in Wildlife Management, he began developing a unique training clinic for veterinary students in a resource limited community outside the Kruger National Park, South Africa.
The clinic treated all wildlife in neighbouring reserves and not only made a difference to the local community through clinical service provision, but also school learner’s education and research. This research led to a Ph.D. on brucellosis in domestic animals, wildlife and humans.
Greg Simpson has a diversity of training in veterinary science, public health and education. He has experience as a wildlife and mixed animal veterinarian, development researcher, health consultant, lecturer and project manager. He has developed a variety of initiatives in health, education and conservation. He desires to have a positive influence on conservation, animal and public health and welfare through his veterinary and management skills, while empowering others.
