Hendra from the Frontline

Dr Peter Reid
 

There was one event in Dr Peter Reid’s life that would change the course of his career. 

It was 1994 and the equine veterinarian was the attending clinician during what was at the time, an unknown, lethal virus outbreak in thoroughbred horse stables in the Brisbane suburb of Hendra.  

After witnessing the deadly impact that the virus was having on horses and humans, Dr Reid was motivated to do as much as he could to help. Listen to Dr Reid recount this experience from the Frontline.

EVA FamilyVet Breakfast

Your herd and health are your wealth! Join us as we delve into our the newest EVA initiative to promote prosperity of the equine veterinary herd throughout its many life stages. 

Being an equine veterinarian presents its own set of unique challenges. However, by fostering physical and mental well-being, cultivating and sustaining relationships within and outside the vet community, and achieving financial and professional success the journey becomes more manageable and rewarding. When we share our experience and support our colleagues through all seasons of life we become stronger and give the whole herd its best opportunity to thrive. 

Join us for our Live Panel Discussion over a coffee and breakfast where we will discuss and navigate challenging milestones of personal and professional life, expected and unexpected. Let’s get the conversation going and start taking care of our own Herd Health!!
