StreetVet hosts first ever CPD conference
Volunteer vets and nurses at the StreetVet Conference 2018.
Animal welfare organisation StreetVet held its first ever skills conference in September as a thank you for all its hardworking volunteers.
The event in central London included clinical lectures by leading specialists, interspersed with talks on wellbeing, mental health and panel discussions. It also included some emotional talks by people whose lives had been turned around by the charity.
StreetVet cofounder Sam Joseph said: “The conference was an overwhelming success. The speakers were fantastic, and really tailored their talks to veterinary work on the street."
Two independent vets have launched a podcast to help owners strengthen their bond with pets. Dr Maggie Roberts and Dr Vanessa Howie, who have worked in both veterinary practice and major charities, are keen to use their experience to enable people to give pets a better life.
