Keith Cameron Meldrum CB, MRCVS, DVSM, HonFRSH (born 1937) was the United Kingdom's Chief Veterinary Officer from June 1988 to April 1997.[1]
Biography[edit]
After two years in general practice as a veterinary surgeon, he joined the State Veterinary Service, as a veterinary officer, and worked there during the 1967 foot-and-mouth outbreak.[2] His tenure as CVO coincided with the Bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) epidemic,[2] to which he led the government's response.[3]
A lifetime member of the British Veterinary Association, he sits on the council of their Central Veterinary Society division.[3] He was made a Companion of The Most Honourable Order of the Bath (CB) in the 1995 New Year Honours.[2][4] He is also an Honorary Member of the Royal Society for Public Health (HonFRSH), a Member of the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons (MRCVS), and holds a Diploma in Veterinary State Medicine (DVSM).[2]
