To be an Officer of the New Zealand Order of Merit:

JONES, PROFESSOR EMERITUS BOYD ROBERT For services to veterinary medicine

Professor Emeritus Boyd Jones is widely regarded by the veterinary

profession as the 'father of companion animal medicine'.

Professor Jones taught veterinary students at Massey University for 22

years. In 1996 he became Head of Department at University College

Dublin, later becoming Dean of Veterinary Medicine. Since retiring from

University College Dublin in 2009 he has been Professor Emeritus and

Companion Animal Group Leader at Massey University's Institute of

Veterinary, Animal and Biomedical Sciences. He is a member of numerous

veterinary organisations nationally and internationally. He was a founding

member of the Companion Animal Society of the New Zealand Veterinary

Association in 1973. He was Chairman of the Veterinary Council of New

Zealand. He has had a long association with the Australian College of

Veterinary Scientists and was President in the early 1990s. He was

instrumental in the establishment of the Companion Animal Health

Foundation and the Centre for Service and Working Dog Health. Some of

his greatest contributions to veterinary medicine include the discovery of

five previously unreported entities affecting cats and dogs. He has

provided editorial advice to a number of academic journals, and is

currently on the Editorial Board of the New Zealand Veterinary Journal.

Professor Jones recently resigned as Co-Chair of the Board of Directors of

Veterinary Education International.

Boyd Jone’s service and achievements:

Professor Emeritus Boyd Robert Jones is widely regarded by the veterinary profession in New Zealand as the

‘father of companion animal medicine’. He has enormous national and international respect. Few people have

a greater insight into the many facets of the veterinary profession than Professor Jones.

Professor Jones qualified as a veterinarian in 1967 and was awarded a BVSc with Distinction in1968. During his

studies he was awarded five prizes including Massey Scholar, awarded to the leading student in the final year.

In 1974 he achieved Membership of the Australian College of Veterinary Scientists (ACVSc) in Canine Medicine,

followed by Fellowship of ACVSc in 1984. He became a Diplomate of the American College of Veterinary

Internal Medicine in 1986, obtained, Specialist Registration in Small Animal Medicine by the Royal College of

Page 2: Companion Animal Veterinarians · 2018. 4. 3. · Companion Animal Veterinarians branch of the New Zealand Veterinary Association E cav@vets.org.nz | W Veterinary Faculty Board (1981

Veterinary Surgeons in the UK in 1997, and renewed this in 2007, and became a Diplomate of the European

College of Veterinary Internal Medicine in 1997 and was re-evaluated in 2011.

He has had a long and prestigious career at Massey University. He started at Massey University in 1974 where

he provided 22 years of service teaching undergraduate, clinical and postgraduate students. During this time,

he was a major influence in the career development of many, and was influential in raising the profile of

veterinary science on the global stage. He played a major role in putting NZ on the map in terms of

international recognition for the quality of our companion animal veterinary graduates and the quality of our

applied clinical research. He held multiple international visiting teaching positions during this time.

In 1996, he moved to the University of Dublin, where he was initially appointed as a Head of Department and

then in 1997, progressed to be the Dean of Veterinary Medicine. He was instrumental in the Dublin Veterinary

School achieving ACVM accreditation while there. On his retirement from University College Dublin in 2009, he

was awarded the title of Professor Emeritus from that institution. Since 2009, he has been working in a part-

time fixed term capacity for the Institute of Veterinary, Animal & Biomedical Sciences at Massey University

where he has acted as Companion Animal Group Leader. His mentorship and support has been greatly valued.

He retired in 2013 but has continued to mentor postgraduate students and provide support for clinical staff.

He has also been awarded the title of Professor Emeritus by Massey University.

Professor Jones has also had a long association with a variety of professional associations. He is a member of a

numerous veterinary organisations nationally and internationally, several of which he has been made a life

member. He was a founding member of the Small Animal Society (later renamed to Companion Animal

Society) of the New Zealand Veterinary Association in 1973. He organised multiple conferences for this

organisation over several decades, as well as refereeing and editing papers and journals and consulting on

education programmes. He was Chairman of the Veterinary Council of New Zealand (1995-96), as well as

chairing multiple committees for this organisation. He has also involved himself in the national veterinary

associations & council of Ireland during his time there.

Professor Jones also has had a long association with the Australian College of Veterinary Scientists. Following

his achievement of Fellowship with the ACVSc, he then became and examiner (1980-2001), mentor and

supervisor (1980-1995) for candidates, Board member (1991-6), Coordinator (1989-90), and President (1991-

3). He has also acted as an examiner & external assessor for a variety of universities around the world.

He was instrumental in the founding of the Companion Animal Health Foundation to help fund research into

Companion Animal health matters, and the Centre for Service & Working Dog Health.

In Professor Jones’s career, arguably his greatest contribution has been the discovery of five novel, previously

unreported, entities. The entities included (i) the first case of Zollinger Ellison syndrome in the dog, (ii) familial

hyperchylomicronaemia in the cat, (iii) feline myotonia, (iv) muscular dystrophy due to truncated dystrophin

and (v) CNS demyelination due to feeding of irradiated cat food

Describe what makes the nominee’s service and achievements stand out above and beyond

that of their peers, or above and beyond what might reasonably be expected as part of their

paid employment:

Professor Jones has contributed to every aspect of companion animal medicine from clinician, teacher, leader,

researcher, volunteer, supervisor, mentor and role model. In all of these roles he has committed his time and

expertise well beyond what would be expected within paid employment.

The number of voluntary positions he has held and contributed to within various organisations such as the

Veterinary Council of New Zealand, New Zealand Veterinary Association, the Australia New Zealand College of

Veterinary Scientists, and the Veterinary Council of Ireland is reflected in the awards he has received from

these organisations and in some cases, life membership. As well as contributing to already established

organisations, Boyd has also played a critical role in establishing services where gaps were apparent, such as

the setting up of the New Zealand Small Animal Veterinary Society (later renamed to the Companion Animal

Society) to represent companion animal veterinarians in New Zealand, the Companion Animal Health

Foundation to provide funding for companion animal research in New Zealand, and the Centre for Service and

Working Dog Health in New Zealand to identify and research the unique needs of New Zealand’s service and

working dog population.

He has played has a played a significant role in terms of international recognition of New Zealand, raising the

profile of veterinary science, more specifically companion animal medicine, on a global stage. He has played a

major role in putting New Zealand on the map in terms of international recognition for the quality of our

companion animal veterinary graduates and the quality of our applied clinical research at the Institute of

Veterinary, Animal and Biomedical Sciences (IVABS). Few people have a greater insight into the many facets of

the veterinary profession and the conflicting demands of higher education and our profession.

Professor Jones is unquestionably one of the preeminent figures in the veterinary profession in New Zealand.

He has played a key mentorship role in the careers of the current and previous heads of IVABS and a plethora

Page 11: Companion Animal Veterinarians · 2018. 4. 3. · Companion Animal Veterinarians branch of the New Zealand Veterinary Association E cav@vets.org.nz | W Veterinary Faculty Board (1981

Companion Animal Veterinarians branch of the New Zealand Veterinary Association E [email protected] | W www.cas.nzva.org.nz

of academics and veterinary specialists in New Zealand and around the World. He has done so much for

colleagues, clients, basic scientists and especially clinical trainees and early career academics, for whom he has

been a generous and enthusiastic mentor.

Boyd has produced many clinical publications on a wide variety of different topics in a profession where

specialisation in a specific area of interest is more normal. Clearly he was interested in everything, and keen to

investigate difficult cases and write about them. He has been incredibly productive, with many papers on a

wide range of topics, including Canine Medicine, Feline Medicine, Anaesthesia, Physiology, Infectious Diseases,

Endocrinology, Epidemiology, Neurology and even Surgery.

Critically, Boyd has been a wonderful ambassador for Australasia, and of course specifically for New Zealand,

where he is without doubt the most famous small animal clinician to graduate from Massey University.

Describe how the nominee’s service and achievements are regarded by their colleagues, and

whether they have been formally recognised by their colleagues or through other awards (e.g.

life membership of an organisation, honorary doctorate, etc.):

Prof Jones is unquestionably one of the preeminent figures in the veterinary profession in New Zealand. He

has played a key mentorship role in the careers of the current and previous heads of the Institute of

Veterinary, Animal and Biomedical Sciences and a plethora of academics and veterinary specialists in New

Zealand and around the World.

As a result of his standing in the veterinary community, he has been invited to hold roles as diverse as

examiner, assessor, supervisor, board member, President, Chair, editor, mentor, and advisor to students,

professionals, organisations, associations and societies both here in New Zealand as well as internationally.

As a result of his considerable contribution, Boyd has been recognised with Life Membership of the

Comparative Veterinary Gastroenterology Society, the NZ Veterinary Association Companion Animal Society,

and the NZ Veterinary Nursing Association, as well as having the title of Professor Emeritus bestowed by two

universities – the University of Dublin, Ireland and Massey University, New Zealand.

He has won awards for his research and publications including the Smith Kline Norden Research Award in 1981

and 1984, the Australian College Veterinary Scientists: Best paper in NZ Veterinary Journal twice (with J.

Cayzer) in 1993, and (with A. Scuffham and S. Forsyth) in 1996, and the Australian Small Animal Veterinary

Association: Best Clinical Communication (with G. Swinney), 1993.

His significant contribution to the veterinary profession both in New Zealand and internationally have been

recognised with the following prestigious awards:

New Zealand Veterinary Association, Companion Animal Society Service Award, 1994.

Australian College of Veterinary Scientists: Presidential Award for Distinguished Service 1997.
