Humanimal Trust drives collaboration between vets, doctors and researchers so that all humans and animals benefit from equal and sustainable medical progress, but not at the expense of an animal’s life. This is One Medicine.
We believe all humans and animals deserve access to appropriate medical treatments
Medical advances shouldn’t just be about human benefit where they could help animals too – or vice versa. We believe humans and animals can and should benefit equitably and at the same time from medical progress, without the need for experimental animal testing.
The world we want to see in the future…
- Human and animal health have demonstrably improved as a result of One Medicine.
- One Medicine is widely understood and embraced.
- Collaboration between human and animal medicine is the norm.
- There is sufficient funding and robust public policy to support collaboration between human and animal medicine.
- There is no scientific need and no legal requirement for laboratory animal testing.
And this is how we’re making it happen – our areas of charitable activity are outlined below, through I-CARE (Influence, Collaboration, Awareness, Research and Education).
Influence
We influence legislative, policy and practice change. We work with today’s vets, doctors and researchers, funders, legislators and policy makers. We seek to identify those of the future and inspire them with our passion and belief in One Medicine.
Collaboration
We facilitate collaboration between human and veterinary medicine by creating opportunities for professionals to come together.
We invite people to work with us and to come to our online ONE Medicine Network, where interaction and learning can take place, and humans and animals both benefit from the sharing of knowledge.
Awareness
We increase awareness and improve understanding of One Medicine and its benefits to us all, engaging the public, researchers, doctors, vets and policymakers, showing the evidence and demonstrating the case for change.
Research
We fund, facilitate and share the research needed to evidence the impact of One Medicine and foster the skills and knowledge needed to make it a reality, only supporting research that utilises naturally occurring disease or non-animal models to benefit both human and animal patients.
Education
Through education, we inspire everyone to take the One Medicine message forward for the benefit of future generations of both humans and animals.
We spread the message of how One Medicine could help save time, save money and save lives.
We are working to educate individuals about this sustainable approach to health, underpinning all of the work we do, with our education programme.
