Talks for community groups have always been a popular part of fundraising. We are now hosting our own talks in our upstairs classroom. Each event will include a tour of the hospital, free refreshments and practical demonstrations! All talks can be extended into day courses (particularly wildlife 1st aid & care) for interested groups e.g. vet nurses. Please phone the hospital for further information.
