Sharing equine health insights through syndromic surveillance and research

Currently, there is no comprehensive national system for monitoring equine health records in the UK. EVSNET addresses this gap by collecting and analysing de-identified electronic health data from participating veterinary practices and diagnostic laboratories. Using this data, we've established a robust platform for syndromic surveillance and large-scale, real-time research of equine health and welfare. This enables us to provide equine health and disease insights to veterinary practitioners, diagnostic laboratories and horse owners across the UK.
