Our expertise

We provide training and workshops reinforced by the collective authority and experience of our team and guest specialists:

  • Qualified and experienced lecturers: Our academic roles ensure all material is rooted in current evidence-based science
  • Expert guest lecturers: We collaborate with specialists and experts in their fields to ensure a broad and deep educational experience

Bespoke Delivery and Location

We understand institutional needs vary. Independent bookings can be fully modified to suit your institute’s requirements regarding group size, length, or specific topics covered. For educational organisations without an available animal collection for practical sessions, workshops can generally be booked and delivered at a suitable nearby zoo or facility.

Current Workshops

We deliver practical, evidence-based training on key topics to enhance clinical skills and animal welfare:

  • Zoo animal lameness
  • Functional animal enrichment
  • Veterinary physiotherapy for exotic animals

     

Detailed descriptions of these three workshops are available below.
