European Specialist in Veterinary Anaesthesia and Analgesia
 

 

 

Hi, I am Federico, or Freddie, as I have been called since I moved to UK. I graduated in Padova (Italy), and trained as veterinary anaesthetist in UK, and since 2003 I am European Specialist in Veterinary Anaesthesia ana Analgesia.

 

 

Anaesthesia, perioperative care, and analgesia have been my main interests since I was a student at Vet School. I am particularly interested in physiology and pharmacology of anaesthetics, sedative and cardiovascular drugs.

 

 

I have been working as Anaesthesia Lecturer in Padova School of veterinary medicine, then as Clinical anaetshetist at the Animal Health Trust, and finally I have been working for three years on a research project based at the University Division of Anaesthetics of Addenbrooke's hospital, with which I am still collaborating.

 

 

I joined Dick White Referrals in July 2008, to build an anaesthesia service able to work alongside the other disciplines. I am really enjoying the friendly and dynamic environment, and I find the possibility of working and exchanging opionins with very skilled clinicians very stimulating.

 

 

During my working career I had the chance to develop both clinical and research projects, and many of them resulted in publications on scientific journals. I am deeply involved in providing continuous education in veterinary anaesthesia to vets, specially in Italy, where I lecture for several CPD providers. I am also author of a handbook of small animal anaesthesia, published in Italy. Although it did not make me rich, it has been a great satisfaction for me, and gave me the opportunity to communicate to my collegues in general practice my enthusiasm in this fascinating subject, too often deemed boring or simply “not very cool”! I am also proud to say that many veterinary students decided to become anaesthetist after reading my book or attending one of my lectures. As you may understand, I am seriously committed to improving the standard and the image of veterinary anaesthesia, and if you have any special concern or curiosity regarding anaesthesia, pain management of your pet, feel free to ask to speak with me.
