Who we are
Humanimal Trust was established in May 2014 by Professor Noel Fitzpatrick, known globally as a ground-breaking orthopaedic-neuro veterinary surgeon.
As a vet, he experienced personally the deep divide between human and animal medicine, and saw how unfair this was. Frustrated by the lack of opportunities to share what he was learning from day to day practice, or to benefit from relevant learning from human medicine, he decided to create the platform himself.
What we do
Humanimal Trust drives collaboration between doctors, vets and researchers so that all humans and animals benefit from sustainable medical progress, but not at the expense of an animal’s life. This is One Medicine.
Get involved
Humanimal Trust couldn’t do any of the work we do towards making One Medicine a reality without the support of our generous and passionate fundraisers and supporters.
ONE Medicine Network
We welcome contact from professionals across the fields of medical science to work with us in spreading the One Medicine word.
FOR HUMANS AND ANIMALS
ONE Medicine
One Medicine is the concept whereby human and animal healthcare advance hand in hand with doctors, vets and researchers collaborating to ensure that all humans and animals benefit from sustainable and equal medical progress, but not at the expense of an animal’s life.
