RVC president awarded life membership of epidemiology society
Professor Stuart Reid CBE.

Stuart Reid CBE honored for his support to the Society for Veterinary Epidemiology and Preventative Medicine.

Professor Stuart Reid CBE has been awarded Honorary Life Membership of the Society for Veterinary Epidemiology and Preventive Medicine (SVEPM) for his support of the Society and lifetime of service.

Professor Reid, who is president and principal of the Royal Veterinary College, collected his award at the latest SVEPM conference in Belfast (23-25 March).

Founded in 1982, the SVEPM comprises some 250 veterinary and non-veterinary members from 24 countries. The society aims to enable professionals to meet and share knowledge to improve the health of animals, humans, and the environment.

As part of this, SVEPM awards honorary life memberships in recognition of individual’s contributions to the field of veterinary epidemiology, preventive medicine, and economics. Prof. Reid was selected in acknowledgement of his support of Society and his contribution to epidemiology and preventive medicine.

Commenting on his achievement, Professor Reid said: “It is huge honour to be recognised by those with whom one has worked for over 30 years.

"The Society plays a pivotal role in bringing together researchers from many disciplines to champion epidemiology, preventive medicine and economics for the betterment of animal and human health – but it also provides a social fabric to a community that is supportive and ultimately makes being a member a pleasure and a privilege.”
