Data Manager

Gill Fraser is a St Andrews’ University graduate mathematician/statistician providing the data management on recent VetMetrica projects.

Originally employed as a statistician for a highly specialised marine engineering consultancy working primarily in the defence field.
Moved into management, but again with a focus on engineering, for the British National Oil Corporation which was absorbed into BP.  After this, back to the preferred world of consultancy with sales and business development of innovative engineering solutions for the oil industry.

Latterly, started up and managed a business/fleet sales department for the family owned motor dealership but now, tempted out of retirement, into pastures new working on an equally pioneering and exciting venture as those in the early years.

"I have been using VetMetrica for over 18 months now and have found it has revolutionised how I monitor patients and collect data. It is very easy to set up and the tools are intuitive and easy to follow

VetMetrica provides a great window into the animals’ quality of life and how it feels in its home environment. This has enabled me to better care for these patients and also collect good quality data for future publications. I cannot recommend VetMetrica enough. "

Andy Armitage, Greenside Vet Practice

Vetmetrica offers a valuable tool in assessing the impact of chronic pain on quality of life in dogs & cats. When treating chronic pain, most owners say that quality of life is paramount and they want their pet to be pain free. Vetmetrica engages owners and gives them the ability to measure quality of life.

"I found that a computer based scale run by Newmetrica... the same great people who gave us the Glasgow Pain Scales... is a wonderful way to get reliable quality of life scores.  You can find it here at http://www.newmetrica.com/vetmetrica-hrql/.  It generates a non-biased decision using a computer algorithum.  Answers are weighted differently so it is harder for the caregiver to subconsciously manipulate the outcome.  And they cannot go back and change their answers like they can on paper form"  Dr Mike Petty

“Firstly I want to congratulate you and your team on the important work you are doing in the field of pain assessment and in particular the NewMetrica HRQL tool which I think is a real game changer!” – Leon Warne.

“It goes without saying that within our dealings with the team at NewMetrica we found them to be consistently helpful and professional throughout”.
