Noel Fitzpatrick

Noel Fitzpatrick is an Irish veterinary surgeon, based in Eashing, Surrey, who came to prominence through the television programme The Supervet.

Originally from Ballyfin, in County Laois, Ireland, he moved to Guildford, Surrey, in 1993,[2] where he is director and managing clinician at Fitzpatrick Referrals.

[7] He was awarded an honorary doctorate by the University of Surrey for the concept of One Medicine: the advancement of human and animal treatments in tandem.

[12] In 2009, he became the first veterinary surgeon in the world to successfully apply an amputation prosthesis (PerFiTS[13]) to a cat named Oscar who had lost both hind feet in an accident.

He appeared in an episode of the BBC medical drama Casualty (2005), around the same time he appeared in the documentary TV series Wildlife SOS, resulting in the BBC receiving complaints that the latter show included an actor who was pretending to be a vet.
