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.

This Veterinary Nursing Awareness Month, weโ€™re celebrating the exceptional nursing team here at Liphook Equine Hospital.

Today, we treated our hardworking team to delicious ice cream from Caravanilla as a thank you for their hard work and dedication.

Did you know we have a team of 23 Registered Veterinary Nurses (RVNs) and 7 Student Veterinary Nurses (SVNs) working across different areas of the hospital, supported by our dedicated Patient Care Assistants (PCAs) and grooms? Together, the team provides a 24/7 service delivering expert patient care and supporting our veterinary surgeons every single day.

Between them, the team provides:

โ€ข Emergency and intensive care nursing
โ€ข General patient care
โ€ข Theatre and anaesthesia nursing
โ€ข Imaging acquisition
โ€ข Laboratory work
โ€ข Wound management
โ€ข Blood sampling, radiography, bandage changes, weight clinics and much more while out on the road.
โ€ข Rehabilitation and ongoing patient support, enrichment and behavioural assistance

Our nurses play a vital role in patient care, advocacy, welfare and client support, and we are incredibly lucky to have such a skilled, dedicated and compassionate team.

We love celebrating their expertise and commitment during Veterinary Nursing Awareness Month โ€” thank you for everything you do! ๐Ÿ’™

We were proud to share that our equine veterinary nurse, Caitlin Fahy, ran the London Marathon on Sunday 26th April.

After securing a highly sought-after place through the public ballot, Caitlin balanced her training alongside her busy role at Liphook Equine Hospital. Throughout her journey, she showed great determination, working hard to rehabilitate herself through several injuries and setbacks during trainingโ€”with plenty of support from colleagues along the way.

Caitlin ran in support of Joanna Wildlife Hospital, a local charity dedicated to the rescue and rehabilitation of injured wildlifeโ€”an organisation close to her heart.

Everyone at Liphook Equine Hospital is incredibly proud of her achievement.

In April 2026 there have been 21 outbreaks of equine influenza in the UK including Surrey and Hampshire. Most of these cases have been in horses that have recently been imported or that are unvaccinated.

Bear in mind that flu is highly contagious and vaccination only offers strong protection for around six months so consider a booster if your horse was vaccinated more than six months ago.

Do get in touch with our team if you need any help or advice.

Weโ€™re incredibly proud to share that our nurse, Nikki Hunt, was recently given the opportunity to volunteer in The Gambia with the Gambia Horse and Donkey Trust, thanks to support from The British Equine Veterinary Association Trust.
During her time there, Nikki experienced first-hand the outstanding kindness and generosity of both veterinary professionals and the local community. The charity relies heavily on donations of both veterinary and non-veterinary equipment, which play a vital role in the care they provide.
Nikki took part in clinic daysโ€”also known as treksโ€”where the team travelled to offer mobile veterinary care to local animal owners. One of the most common and concerning issues they encountered was the use of ropes and metal as bits, along with ill-fitting or broken tack. This often led to painful sores and injuries for the donkeys, many of which required treatment and, in more severe cases, pain relief.
Access to properly fitting tack and padding is very limited, making donated items incredibly valuable. Head collars, bits, harnesses, and saddle pads were used to replace or improve existing equipment, while stable bandages were even repurposed to create soft, makeshift bridles.
On one trek alone, the team treated over 80 donkeys - and all donated tack was given directly to owners, meaning supplies are now running low again.
If you have any unused head collars, bits, saddle pads, or bandages, please consider donating them to support this amazing cause. Any clients wishing to contribute can drop items into reception, and we will ensure they are sent out to The Gambia Horse and Donkey Trust.
Thank you for helping make a difference ๐Ÿด
