But its creating safe places for people to access help? There are numerous ways to help and Streetvet would certainly support you setting up as one of their helpers and it would comply with legislation (not made by RCVS but government legislation).

The industry us hugely supportive of initiatives to help and by complying with legislation you can provide the most help.

Its the same for people providing medical help to homeless humans - they need to comply with the law.

Morning all.

Yeah Jane thats pretty much it. I knew that there would be numerous limitations but just a bit sad to read that. This profession has a long way to go.

Thanks for the link Sal! Much appreciated.

But that’s probably bc you aren’t registered as a vet practice? streetvet have been down this route and that’s why they are allowed to dispense meds Etc. It’s contacting Jade as this is part of their whole scheme is to train people to then provide a service where they are based.

"...limited to providing a service that any lay person may carry out despite your qualification."
