About Our Meetings
The Veterinary History Society convenes one or two meetings a year, often in London but occasionally at significant locations across the UK.

Our summer gatherings traditionally include visits to museums, historical buildings, or outdoor sites of veterinary or scientific interest.

These veterinary history workshops and lectures provide a space to share research, learn from peers, and deepen your understanding of the historical basis of veterinary medicine.

Upcoming Events
By exploring the past, we honour those who built the profession – and ensure the future of veterinary care is rooted in knowledge of its origins.
