Prof Terry Turner, OBE

Terry Turner has recently retired from the Welsh School of Pharmacy in Cardiff where, as Director of the Surgical Dressings Research Unit, he and his colleagues investigated over a twenty year period:

• the functional profiles of wound management products for soft tissue injuries,
• the physiology and biochemistry of wound healing,
• the development of interactive dressing products for specific wounds.

In addition to numerous publications and teaching programmes the value of the work was recognised by the award of an OBE for 'services to medicine' in 1989.

As founder president of the European Wound Management Association he has seen the subject develop from a nursing procedure to a clinical speciality. More recently, in continued collaboration with Cardiff University and this newly formed Association the problems associated with veterinary wound healing are being addressed with enthusiasm using a knowledge base derived from previous experience in both laboratory and human clinical practice. Other interestss include antique pharmaceutical artefacts and involvement with the National Botanic Garden of Wales.

Prof David Lloyd

David Lloyd graduated from the Royal Veterinary College (University of London) in 1968 and after a brief spell in practice began research into ruminant skin diseases with British Technical Aid at the University of Ibadan, Nigeria. In 1973 he joined the Skin Biology Unit at the Hannah Research Institute, Ayr, where he completed a Ph.D. on the effects of climate on ruminant dermatophilosis. In 1979 he moved back to the Royal Veterinary College where he established a unit of Dermatology, lectured in microbiology and immunity, and extended his research to skin diseases of pigs, dogs and cats. He now holds the chair of Veterinary Dermatology within the Department of Veterinary Clinical Sciences and is based at the RVC Hawkshead Campus.

Professor Lloyd leads a clinical dermatology group offering specialist services in both small animal, equine and farm animal dermatology, with active research programmes involving diseases of dogs, cats and ruminants in Britain and overseas. His research is focussed on cutaneous microbial infection and wound healing, with special interests in staphylococci, the actinomycete, Dermatophilus congolensis, and yeasts of the genus Malassezia. He has published over 150 papers in peer reviewed books and journals. Professor Lloyd has been active in the development of veterinary dermatology. He is a founding member and past-president of the European Society of Veterinary Dermatology, the European College of Veterinary Dermatology and the Veterinary Wound Healing Association. He was a founding member of the European Board of Veterinary Specialisation and the World Congress of Veterinary Dermatology. He was founding editor and Editor-in-Chief of the journal, Veterinary Dermatology. He is President of the 5th World Congrss of Veterinary Dermatology, Vienna, 2004.
