Real Welfare for vets

If you're a vet looking to complete Real Welfare assessments on your clients' units, you will need to undertake online and on-farm training and assessments.

You must also be registered with Red Tractor/Quality Meat Scotland (QMS) and the Pig Veterinary Society (PVS).

The online training is available by logging onto the Real Welfare training website. For login details, email real.welfare@ahdb.org.uk.
