The uniquely specialist equine division of PRP Rescue Services is being recognised in the new “Emergency Services Protocol” that is being developed jointly by the British Equine Veterinary Association (BEVA) and the Highways Agency. Whilst this initiative is still in its’ infancy, it will ultimately become the actionable protocol of choice for all emergency incidents (police, fire, ambulance etc.) involving highways and livestock.
Accidents, stray animals and other incidents can often shut major roads for hours, proving
to be costly for not just those immediately involved, but also those caught up in the after effects. It is our belief that all incidents involving livestock should be overseen by trained staff in
order to minimise the problems that may arise in these situations.
