Event description
The Animal Health Trust (AHT) is a veterinary charity dedicated to improving the health and welfare of horses,dogs and cats. Despite popular belief, disease and injury are the most common threats to animal welfare, and AHT exists to reduce and prevent unnecessary suffering. Based near Newmarket, in Suffolk, the AHT has two animal clinics; one for dogs and cats, the other for horses.
The AHT is a veterinary referral centre, meaning that cases which are too complex to be treated by local vets get referred to world-class vets, experts in their field. Research is key at the AHT. They are committed to developing better means of diagnosing and treating diseases of companion animals. With innovative and pioneering research programmes, they are at the forefront of developments for both inherited and infectious diseases. Clinical and research experts work closely together to benefit not only individual cases, but the veterinary profession as a whole, internationally.
During our visit we will be given an overview of the trust and its work followed by two talks. One will focus on a specific aspect of the research carried out at the trust, the other will be by one of the clinicians.
