Followed by Sustainability CPD talk by Simon Doherty. Simon will discuss sustainability and One Health in the veterinary context and introduce delegates to the resources and toolkits Vet Sustain, BVA and others are developing to support the veterinary team in becoming more sustainable in their work. Sustainability starts with many people taking small steps together and, as vets, we can play a vital role as innovators and educators in this drive.
Simon holds a senior position at the Institute of Global Food Security, Queen’s University Belfast. Prior to his presidency of the British Veterinary Association in 2018-19, he was the Animal Sciences & Aquaculture Sector Specialist for HM Government’s Department for International Trade and has over two decades of experience in veterinary practice, industry, academia and professional representation.
He is a Director of Vet Sustain, a community interest company providing the veterinary community with resources to drive sustainability in their workplaces and help their clients to improve their sustainability too. He is a trustee, ambassador and veterinary advisor for the international development charity, Send a Cow.
