One Health Consulting incorporates the concepts of one health with definable implementation and measurable outcomes. Standard operating protocols reduce the potential for liability and financial loss for the clinic or farm and improve trust with owners by actively managing the risk of disease outbreaks, antimicrobial resistant infections, unforeseen disasters, including newly emerging pathogens, foreign animal diseases and natural disasters, surgical site infections, and nosocomial infections.
While veterinary facilities most often incorporate prevention planning and protocols, farms and other animal care facilities including equine facilities, can benefit from protocols to prevent the spread of disease through their facilities and mitigate the impact of a disaster.
Their mission is to reduce the incidence and prevalence of issues inherent to modern veterinary medicine, animal husbandry and the interface of human-animal interactions for individuals who want the highest standards. They aim not only to provide consulting services, but also defined outcomes and continued adaptability.
