Animals in Health

At this public lecture, attendees will hear from Claire Guest about how her dog Daisy saved her life by detecting her breast cancer, meet a therapy pet and find out about the role dogs play in health and social support for those experiencing homelessness. Animals have long played a role in health settings, from the ancient use of medicinal leeches to the introduction of rescue dogs in the Alps in the early 18th century. The RCN has arranged this evening to explore the broader role they serve now.
