The VPHA has been organising Study Tours for its membership since the mid-1990s. During that time we have visited: France, Spain, Irish Republic, Poland, Croatia, Ukraine, Macedonia, Serbia, Hungary and Austria…so far!
Study Tour Participants to Croatia
The purpose of the Tour to any particular country is to inform VPHA members about the standards of both Veterinary Public Health and Animal Welfare and to engage with both FBO’s and fellow professionals in order to be informed as to how they operate in their country.
During the study tours, premises visited include abattoirs, cutting plants, processing facilities, farms, veterinary colleges and government offices. Presentations are given and received by both VPHA representatives and representatives from the host country outlining how regulatory and inspection duties are carried out.
In addition, receptions and dinners are arranged with our hosts and visits to other places of interest organised where appropriate. Package prices for VPHA Members are usually very affordable and offer excellent high value CPD.
The next planned Study Tour is currently being arranged for Romania in June.
Join us on this year’s Study Tour to Romania, from the 25th to the 27th of June, where you'll experience a perfect blend of culture, history, and hands-on learning in one of Europe's most fascinating countries!
