In 2015, Skeldale Veterinary Centre was involved with filming the Channel 5 television series The Yorkshire Vet, in which Julian has the title role.

Julian is the author of around 10 books about veterinary practice and funny animal stories. He is also a regular contributor to Springtime on the Farm, This Week on the Farm, and The Jeremy Vine Show.

Norton's most popular book, The Diary of a Yorkshire Vet (2018), contains many anecdotes and animal rescue adventures from his veterinary work in North Yorkshire.

Julian Norton was awarded “Yorkshireman of the Year” by The Dalesman in 2017. He’s involved in charities that work with vet students, rare breeds, and other animals.

Outside of work, Julian is a keen triathlete and ski mountaineer. He has represented team GB at the age-group level for both middle-distance triathlons and long-course duathlon.

He is married to Anne, also a veterinary surgeon, and has two sons, Jack and Archie.
