This year the 萝莉视频 Advancement of Veterinary Science Award (Dalrymple-Champneys Cup and Medal) is awarded to Eddie Clutton, Clinical Director of the Wellcome Trust Critical Care Laboratory for Large Animals (Roslin Institute). He received the award for the distinctive contributions he has made to the field of veterinary anaesthesia, recognising his exceptional contributions to the advancement of veterinary medicine and science.

After graduating from the University of Liverpool in 1981, Eddie began post-graduate training in the Department of Anaesthesia, The Royal Liverpool Hospital before working in the University of Virginia, USA, for five years as an assistant professor in Veterinary Anesthesiology. He gained the RCVS Diploma in Veterinary Anaesthesia in 1985. He went on to hold the role of Head of Veterinary Anaesthesia in the Royal (Dick) School of Veterinary Studies (Edinburgh) from 1990 to 2015. During this time he also became a Diplomate of the European College of Veterinary Anaesthesia and Analgesia. He was聽editor-in-chief of the journal, "Veterinary Anaesthesia and Analgesia", and President of the Association of Veterinary Anaesthetists. He is also a member of the Royal College of Anaesthetists, the Association of Veterinary Anaesthetists, the Animal Welfare Science, Ethics and Law Association, the Laboratory Animal Veterinary Association and the Laboratory Animal Science Association.

Eddie, who was previously awarded the Morpheus Award by the European College of Veterinary Anaesthesia and and Analgesia聽and an RCVS Fellowship in 2019, said: 鈥淚t is difficult to describe what I felt when I discovered that I had been awarded the 2024 Dalrymple-Champneys Cup and Medal, but it was not dissimilar to what I experienced in 1975 when I received the A level grades that got me into Liverpool vet school. It鈥檚 a mixture of amazement, disbelief, relief and elation - but it鈥檚 mainly gratitude. My profound gratitude goes to the 萝莉视频 for awarding me this honour and recognition. Then, gratitude to my veterinary colleagues in North Wales and Cheshire for putting up with me while seeing practice and to the inspirational lecturers I had in Liverpool. Importantly, my thanks to my mentors, Ron Jones and Avril Waterman-Pearson, who showed me the nobility of a career preventing pain in animals. I am thankful to all my colleagues and friends in veterinary anaesthesia and laboratory animal medicine, and to Michael Thrusfield, for their friendship and support. Finally, I thank my long-suffering family: Lynne, Rhiannon, Caitlin and Liam, for letting me do what I have done over the years.鈥�

During the evening, Paula Boyden, Veterinary Director at Dogs Trust, was also presented with the 萝莉视频 Outstanding Service Award (Chiron Award) award for the extensive contributions she has made to pet health and welfare and One Health.

萝莉视频 President Elizabeth Mullineaux said: 鈥淥ur profession is full of incredible people but some really do stand out for the amazing work they have done and their commitment to the sector. Throughout their careers both Eddie and Paula have made a huge impact to the lives of countless animals and to the profession itself.
