Description

Professor Noel Fitzpatrick is a world-renowned neuro-orthopaedic veterinary surgeon, the founder of Fitzpatrick Referrals in Surrey, and the star of the hit television series The Supervet, now in its 11th series. Renowned for performing unique and cutting-edge surgeries, Noel is often the last chance for the animals that have been referred into his care, as he pushes the boundaries of science, medicine and regenerative bionic technology with his compassionate and visionary approach.
When The Supervet began, Noel wanted to tell a story about love and hope, within the context of the medical revolution of incredible science. He wanted to highlight the important bond humans have with animals, how they really are integral members of our families and how much those families will do for them in return for the companionship and unconditional love they share.
Now, Noel takes this journey a step further as he gives an inspiring, powerful, uplifting and often surprising account of his journey to becoming The Supervet. From growing up on a family farm in Ireland, where his helplessness at being unable to save a new-born lamb and his love for his sheepdog motivated him to enter the world of veterinary science, his memoir will track the course of his extraordinary career.
We will travel with him through difficult school years and a very non-traditional career-path from farm animal practice in rural Ireland to the most advanced hospital for regenerative medicine anywhere in the veterinary world. We will hear in his own words the inspiration behind the inventions and techniques he has developed and the incredible lengths he has gone to in order to save the animals on his operating table, and we will begin to understand the emotional roots of his professional impetus. As heart-warming and life-affirming as the TV show with which he made his name, Noel’s memoir is a story of love, hope and compassion, and about rejoicing in the bond between humans and animals that can make us the very best we can be.
