We were incredibly proud to have such a wonderful team representing LEH, including surgeons Russell Parker, Matt Sinovich and Andrew Wood, alongside Rosina Lillywhite from our nursing team. It was also wonderful to catch up with some of LEH's most influential former vets - John Walmsley, Tim Phillips and Jane Boswell.

Russell presented an update on the latest techniques and developments in tenoscopy, as well as showcasing an innovative approach to annular ligament surgery developed by our surgical team.

Matt shared the findings from recent research, carried out alongside Russell Parker and Andrew Wood, on the conservative management of cervical outflow obstruction in the equine athlete.

Rosina played a leading role in the nursing programme, facilitating surgical nursing discussions and delivering both practical sessions and lectures.

A special congratulations goes to Andrew Wood, who recently completed his surgical residency at LEH and was formally inducted into the European College of Veterinary Surgeons as a Specialist in Orthopaedic Surgery - an outstanding achievement and thoroughly deserved recognition of his expertise and dedication.

It's always rewarding to see both longstanding and newer members of the LEH team contributing to the advancement of equine veterinary medicine, sharing knowledge, presenting research, and learning from colleagues across the profession.

Congratulations to everyone involved in representing LEH so exceptionally. We look forward to bringing new ideas and knowledge back to benefit our patients and clients.

Sarah's journey in equine veterinary medicine began after graduating from the University of Sydney in 1995. She started her career in the Hunter Valley, New South Wales, where she worked with sports horses and developed a passion for stud medicine, gaining extensive experience in artificial insemination using chilled and frozen semen.
After moving to the UK in 1998, Sarah worked in equine practices in Cheshire and Surrey before joining Liphook Equine Hospital in 2002 as part of our ambulatory team. Over the past 24 years, she has become an integral part of the practice, building an outstanding reputation in sports horse medicine, internal medicine and stud medicine. In 2004, she was awarded the RCVS Certificate in Internal Medicine, and in 2011 she became a Clinical Director at Liphook Equine Hospital. Since then, Sarah has helped lead our ambulatory team with dedication and compassion.
Sarah is an exceptional clinician, and has been an inspiring leader and a trusted mentor to countless colleagues. Her commitment to delivering the highest standards of patient care and supporting our team has left a lasting impact on everyone who has had the privilege of working alongside her.

We will miss Sarah enormously, and are incredibly grateful for everything she has contributed to Liphook Equine Hospital over the years. We wish her every happiness and success as she makes this step to allow her valuable time to spend with her family and friends and to enjoy her many interests.

The Equine Influenza outbreak is ongoing throughout the UK. After a period with reducing numbers, the cases have once again started to increase. Therefore, to reduce the risk to all our inpatients we would like all cases coming into the hospital to follow the appropriate guidelines below:

1. If vaccinated within the last 6 months no further vaccinations are required.

2. For elective cases, If your horse is unvaccinated or last vaccinated more than 12 months ago it is ESSENTIAL that they have a flu booster more than 7 days prior to admission. For horses who have only had a primary course (first two injections) and where the primary course was completed more than 8 weeks previously a further booster is required more than 7 days prior to admission. If your horse was vaccinated between 6 and 12 months prior to admission, we REQUEST and ADVISE that your horse has a flu booster more than 7 days prior to admission. Horses in the latter group maybe admitted without a booster at the discretion of the clinician in charge.

3. For emergencies, please alert our team to the vaccination status of your horse so that all teams are aware and we can monitor these horses closely regardless of their medical or surgical problem.

In light of the ongoing cases the team are hypervigilant for any horses that show a new cough or increased and unexplained temperature whilst in the hospital. These cases would be immediately moved to isolation until proven they are negative for Influenza.

We can confirm that currently there are no cases of Equine Influenza on site and that this protocol is to help guide clients and ensure the safety of our patients

Alongside our dedicated on-call team - comprising hospital surgeon, medic, house vet, and two ambulatory vets - who have been caring for a wide range of cases, several members of the team have also been providing veterinary support at equestrian events across the region. Huw Griffiths was one of the vets on duty at the South of England Show, where we were also delighted to sponsor a number of Irish Draught classes.
We are proud to be regular duty vets for Goodwood Racecourse, where David Lloyd currently serves as Senior Veterinary Surgeon. David and Roisin Wardle were on duty on Friday evening, while Sarah Gent and Tim Adams were providing veterinary cover throughout the weekend. Meanwhile, Roisin was also the duty vet on Sunday for the Endurance GB, South Downs Area Qualifier at Muntham Farm, Findon.

We are incredibly fortunate to have such a knowledgeable and dedicated team, allowing us to support so many fantastic events across a wide range of equestrian disciplines while continuing to provide outstanding care to our clients and patients

As everyone is aware there is an ongoing Equine Influenza outbreak in the UK currently. The EIDS (Equine Infectious Disease Surveillance) do an excellent job of ensuring the community is up to date on where and when Equine Influenza cases happen.

We were alerted to a recent update from EIDS which could have been interpreted as indicating that there was a case at Liphook Equine Hospital. This is categorically not the case and we can confirm that there are no cases of Equine Influenza at the hospital. Liphook Equine Hospital Laboratory acts as a nationwide laboratory and diagnoses cases from the whole of the UK. The most recent post by EIDS should have stated that a case of Equine Influenza was diagnosed at Liphook Equine Hospital Laboratory and we have requested that a change to the wording is made.

Flu remains a constant threat in the UK at the moment and if you have any concerns your horse might be showing signs of Equine Influenza please contact your veterinary surgeon immediately.
