Worldwide Veterinary Services is a registered UK charity, founded in 2002 with an emphasis on providing a sustainable veterinary resource to help animal organisations around the world.
The organisation seeks to alleviate suffering and improve the welfare and moral perception of animals worldwide by:
- Co-ordinating teams of volunteers to assist the work of animal welfare organisations in all countries.
- Supplying medicines, equipment and advice where they are needed most.
- Providing sustainable input, building long term relationships and leading education programmes to the benefit of local animal and human populations.
- Promoting and conducting research in all matters relating to animal welfare
Luke Gamble, the founder and chief executive, graduated from Bristol University in 1999 and then completed a clinical scholarship at Cambridge University 2001-2002 in large animal medicine and surgery. He currently runs a five vet mixed practice, an emergency service covering Bournemouth/Poole and is also the star of 'The World Wild Vet' which is an exciting new TV series following Luke as he travels the world treating animals in need.
Here's what the WVS co-founder, Luke Gamble had to say about IAPWA:
"The initiative of altruistic people like Nicky and Lynsey who are driving things forward to champion the cause of animal welfare is inspirational. WVS is proud to support their work and efforts as well as their complete committment to making a difference to animals in need".
We have been in regular contact with WVS for many months and hope, in the future, to be part of 'The World Wild Vet' series to highlight our work in Borneo and the beauty of Sabah.
