Jane Goodall to head VetFest line up
Jane Goodhall
Dr Jane Goodall DBE will deliver the closing keynote speech.
Chimpanzee expert to give keynote speech

Dr. Jane Goodall DBE, a British ethologist, conservationist and UN Messenger of Peace, will give the keynote speech at a dynamic new CPD conference being held in Surrey later this year.

The main speaker at Vet Festival 2015, which will take place at the University of Surrey on 5-6 September, Dr. Goodall is considered to be the world's foremost expert on chimpanzees and is best known for her 55-year study of social and family interactions of wild chimpanzees in Tanzania.

Dr. Goodall will join a line up of twenty world-class veterinary opinion leaders who will come together to provide veterinary professionals in companion animal practice with cutting edge education and practical day-today clinical advice.

Designed by vets for vets, the VET Festival (Veterinary Education for Tomorrow) focuses on the current and future challenges facing those working in the veterinary industry.

There will be four lecture strands hosted by veterinary experts from around the world; three for vets and a dedicated strand for veterinary nurses.

The core themes for vets include orthopaedics, neurology and oncology and soft tissue surgery. While the veterinary nursing strand will cover topics such as anaesthesia, arthritis, cancer, trauma, spinal nursing, pain management, rehabilitation and nutritional advice.

An overarching theme for the festival is ‘One Medicine’ - the emerging global concept of combined human and animal medical advancement for the good of all species.

Jane Goodall will deliver the closing keynote speech and will talk about her work and the importance of preserving habitats, species and biodiversity to the continuance of mankind.

A full speaker agenda is available at www.VETfestival.co.uk and attendance at the Festival can be added to delegates’ CPD records.
