  12. Where is PDSA?

  13. What does PDSA do? Vision A healthy life for all our pets Mission Our mission is to care for the pets of people in need by providing free veterinary services to their sick and injured animals and promoting responsible pet ownership.

  14. What does PDSA achieve? • PDSA helped around 430,000 pets at our 51 PetAid hospitals. • PDSA provided around 2.3 million free treatments for pets. • PDSA provided over 440,000 preventive treatments such as neutering and vaccinations in 2013 • It cost over £860,000 to run a PetAid hospital for a year

  15. How do we do it? • Offer a first opinion service that would be affordable by an average fee paying client. • Appropriate for a charity to provide • Defined Scope of Service • Standardised service range and level • Well developed clinical governance framework • Treatment protocols • Audits

  16. What sort of service quality do we provide? Range of products and services Audit – Post Operative Complications

  17. Why are we here? • Discussions with Kennel Club • Major cost of veterinary charges • PDSA able to provide service to other charities through trading subsidiary. • Provision of PDSA services to KCBRS • Major complexity - 310 societies

  18. How could it work? • Kennel Club acts as central point of contact • Liaison with PDSA Head office • Central billing • Standardised ‘proof of identity’ • Local relationships • Registration at PDSA • Accessing of services at ‘charitable prices’

  19. Next Steps • Continue to work on the details • Administrative • Operational • Financial • Identify areas for a trial • 3-5 PDSA PetAid hospitals • Local breed rescue societies • Evaluation and potential roll out
