Animal Health Services
Introduction
Working with local veterinarians to provide high-quality veterinary services on behalf of APHA and Welsh Government across north Wales.
As North Wales’ Delivery Partner for animal health services, we play a pivotal role in supporting local veterinary practices to deliver essential statutory surveillance of notifiable diseases, alongside a broad range of regulatory veterinary services that safeguard animal health and welfare.
These services include:
- Service A – Tuberculin Testing of bovine and non-bovine animals
- Service B – Additional veterinary services such as surveillance of diseases including exotic and emerging diseases
- Service C – Emergency support services to respond rapidly in the event of animal health emergencies.
Through close collaboration with government bodies, farmers, and veterinary professionals, we contribute to maintaining and enhancing high standards of animal health and welfare across North Wales.
About us
About us
Mentera as a Veterinary Delivery Partner (VDP) have been providing services on behalf of APHA and Welsh Government since 2015. Working in partnership with over 30 veterinary practices, a network of more than 200 highly skilled veterinarians and over 50 Approved Tuberculin Testers across North Wales, we provide a trusted platform that enables local Veterinary Practices to deliver high-quality, accessible veterinary services to the communities they serve.
Our work and services are guided by three core principles: nurturing innovation, working dynamically, and making a meaningful difference. Our approach is further shaped by the sustainable development principles of the Well-being of Future Generations (Wales) Act 2015. In everything we do, we remain client-focused, collaborative, sustainable, and rooted in Welsh values.
