Courses

At the moment we only run one course at the Hospital in Beckford, the Vale/BHPS

‘First Aid, Care & Rehabilitation of Hedgehogs’ course.

However, we are planning more educational opportunities in the future.

We can also deliver the course wherever you are in the UK. If you can provide the

venue and can find 20+ people (30 max) interested, we can travel to you.

We can promote the date on social media if you need more people  See below for more details.

Alternatively, if you have a venue that we could potentially use (it must be suitable for up to 30 delegates,

and must have facilities for us to make tea & coffee, a hand-washing area and toilets), please contact us

and we can contact local vets etc to advertise a possible course in that area.

If you are interested in spending time at Vale to shadow staff in order to learn about wildlife rehabilitation, we

do offer work experience placements.

The course at Vale Wildlife Hospital runs from 9am until around

4.30pm and must be booked and paid for through the BHPS.

Their telephone number is 01584 890 801.
