1. Are they properly trained, fully qualified and registered?
Using an individual without proper training and qualifications is unlikely to satisfy your veterinary practice and may invalidate your animal's insurance.
Helen has an extensive academic background including a BSc(hons) Equine Science degree and a Post Graduate Diploma in Animal Manipulation. She updates her skills and knowledge annually, which is verified by the "Continuing Professional Development" process governed by tthe Register of Animal Musculoskeletal Practitioners (RAMP). She is also a member of the McTimoney Animal Association, the professional body for McTimoney Animal Chiropractors.
The Register of Animal Musculoskeletal Practitioners (RAMP) ensures that Helen upholds a code of conduct and ethics. This means that clients can be sure of a safe and reliable practitioner.
2. Are they insured?
The welfare of clients and their animals should be the foremost consideration of a practitioner. It is unthinkable that a modern practitioner would operate without insurance.
Helen holds comprehensive professional indemnity and public liability insurance to protect her clients.
3. Are they working with veterinary consent?
The law is clear: Section 19(1) of the Veterinary Surgeons Act 1966 makes it illegal for any person to treat an animal unless they are a veterinary surgeon or legally exempted. If an individual treats an animal without veterinary consent they are breaking the law.
The treatment provided by Helen Jacks-Hewett under Section 2 of the Veterinary Surgery (Exemptions) Order 2015 requires the prior consent of the animal's veterinary surgeon. Therefore Helen always verifies that veterinary permission has been sought before treatment.
