Discover: Dogs | One Health & One Medicine in Action
Event Description
One Health and sustainability are words we hear a lot in the mainstream media and across social media platforms. But when it comes to people, animals and the environment, can we really balance the needs of all three? Simon Doherty will reflect on the activities throughout the day and discuss the One Health and One Medicine concepts further, with some examples to illustrate how collaboration across scientific disciplines can deliver solutions to some of our global grand challenges.
NOTE: Please leave your own pups at home as the only dogs permitted to the event are working or assistance dogs. Thank you!
