One Health

“One Health is an integrated, unifying approach that aims to sustainably balance and optimise the health of people, animals and ecosystems. It recognises that the health of humans, domestic and wild animals, plants, and the wider environment (including ecosystems) are closely linked and interdependent”. World Health Organisation

“Be always mindful, and committed to the improvement, of animal welfare/wellbeing and human health, recognising the importance of One Health-One Welfare (the acknowledgment that animal, human, and environmental health are intrinsically linked). Accordingly, I will refrain from prioritising the rights and welfare of humans over that of animals engaged in animal-assisted services, and vice versa”.
