💥🩺🦮🐄🗻What is Expedition Veterinary Medicine we hear you ask?! Well, there’s one obvious way to find out! Check out our ground-breaking course in partnership with World Extreme Medicine - this is a trailblazing course, creating a new discipline that has been lurking in the background for decades as veterinary professionals join humanitarian efforts, conduct hearts and minds deployments, work with other agencies in disaster zones, take part in expeditions and endurance events and volunteer for charities worldwide.

This course will better prepare future generations of these adventurous types but also will be of interest to medics who may deploy with animals, and also those who just want some amazing CPD that will build up transferable skills to take back to their day jobs 👊🩺🦮💥

Elevate your expedition skills with a focus on veterinary care through our immersive, 2-day Veterinary Expeditions Medicine course in Somerset, UK.

Here’s a copy of the recent post from our managing director Tom 🏃‍♂️🐕🇿🇦🙏:

“So, it’s 26 days until I run the London marathon for the third time! It’s been a few years and training has been modest but I cannot wait to take part in this incredible event once again!

With 26 days until I run 26 miles I am now honoured to announce that I will be raising money for an incredible organisation - Dogs4Wildlife - specifically looking to gain enough funds to cover the flights, vet bills, training costs and equipment for the next dog to deploy to Southern Africa to protect endangered wildlife - Nkosi.

Please take a look at their pages, and if you can spare even just £1 then this will have a huge impact and we will be eternally thankful - check out the link here for more information on the cause and to donate:

A HUGE thank you to those who gave up their time this week to drive around Wales and up to the High Peak, collecting donations and veterinary supplies for the Ukraine 🇺🇦

Such an incredible effort from the teams and clients of Mochdre Vets, Parc Vetcare and Alison Holdam at the RSPCA aberconwy branch; we very nearly didn’t fit it all in the van!!

05/04/2022

Wow! 🤩 What an incredible effort from March Community Fire & Rescue Station!!

The dedication, support, and generosity that we have seen over the last few weeks has been outstanding! 🇺🇦

🇺🇦 One of our capabilities is the ability to provide humanitarian crisis support and we are once again working with Nowzad to help those in need in Ukraine 🇺🇦

Over the coming days/weeks/months, Nowzad will be travelling to a secured base in Poland; with supplies to help support the workers and animals of shelters, and others in need; whose lives have been devastated by the events of the last few weeks.

If you would like to support this quest, then we would be hugely appreciative of any ANIMAL medications, alongside food, bedding, bowls, leads, collars, etc that people may wish to donate. Recently outdated but unopened stock is gratefully received, however please don’t send bottles of medications that have already been opened as these cannot be used.

Note: there are many charities/groups who are collecting for human casualties, which is where the priority of medical supplies should lie. Please only send to us animal specific supplies, that cannot be utilised by human casualties.

We will endeavour to provide the detail of drop off locations over the next few days, but if you are able to help, please get in touch with [email protected]

Many thanks 🙏

We had a brilliant day on Wednesday training Border Force detector dog handlers in ‘Operational Working Dog First Aid’. More to follow later in the year in both the public and private sector.

As we advance into 2022, we are pleased to announce that we are now members of the The CPD Certification Service, allowing us to enhance our canine first aid training (modularised and bespoke) and giving clients additional credibility as they look to enhance their levels of veterinary assurance.
