About Matt
Matt works as a full time mixed practice vet in Yorkshire in the North of England and has done so for over 10 years. He graduated from the University of Glasgow School of Veterinary Medicine in 2014.
Matt has a passion for large animals and the exotic and has recently completed a certificate in exotic animal medicine.
Matt first appeared along with his colleagues on the popular television series the Yorkshire Vet in 2020 and has since appeared on Channel 5’s ‘on the farm’ series featuring the team at cannon hall farm.
Matt’s first book ‘my life as a yorkshire vet’ was released on October 11th 2024 and details his life as a modern day vet, encompassing all the highs and lows of the veterinary profession, working through covid and continually re-discovering his passion in an ever changing environment.
Book Title
‘A rollercoaster ride of emotion, from the hilarious to the incredibly sad, Matt embraces it all with his unswerving dedication and love for his work. Whoever reads this book will undoubtedly endorse this view’
