John Grieve, BVM&S MRCVS
John first came to Cambridge in October 1971. In the early days the practice was
predominantly "large animal" (cattle, sheep, pigs and some horses), but farm
animal numbers in the Cambridge area have decreased dramatically, so that the
1980s
saw a huge swing from large animal to "small animal" work. An Edinburgh
University graduate, John was born in Oxford, but grew up in
Scotland. He came to practise in Cambridge in 1971. In 1985 John spent several
months
at the University of Florida, concentrating on dermatology and internal
medicine.
In the later 1980s, frustrated by frequent difficulty of getting clinical
information, he started 'Vetstream', the internationally acclaimed electronic
publishing service, which now has subscribers in over 60 countries. John's
non-veterinary interests include music, photography, reading and Rotary.
Married to Jan, he has a daughter Fiona,
son Simon and two stepsons, Simon and Will.
