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.

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.

You can purchase various items to help hedgehog carers e.g. copies of our course book,

tick lassos etc, here
