Description
EPIC replaces an earlier EPIC project that was focused upon Veterinary Surveillance (Phase 1). This new consortium EPIC project aims to become a world leader in policy linked research and includes some of Scotland’s leading veterinary epidemiologists and scientists.
The overarching purpose for the Centre is to provide access to high quality advice and analyses on the epidemiology and control of animal diseases that are important to Scotland, and to best prepare Scotland for the next major disease incursion. Ultimately, this strategic advice to the Scottish Government will help ensure that the interests of the various stakeholders involved in disease emergency planning and response are met as effectively as possible. This all must be achieved within the context of our rapidly changing environment. For example, issues such as climate change are now influencing the livestock disease risks that Scotland faces.
