The private veterinary workforce is a crucial part of resources for animal disease surveillance and control in New Zealand. Veterinarians provide essential activities in case identification and reporting, sampling and diagnostics, implementation of control measures and farmer engagement. Improving MPI’s ability to utilise the veterinary workforce requires a good understanding of how veterinary practitioners and allied veterinary professionals operate in their day-to-day work, and how they could best contribute to national disease control programmes going forward.
MPI wishes to gain a better understanding of the current veterinary coverage of the animal populations, employment and scope of work for allied veterinary professionals, diagnostic test practices, data recording practices, and veterinary practitioners’ willingness and preferred methods for participating in national disease control programmes.
Better knowledge in these areas will benefit MPI by enabling Biosecurity New Zealand to plan and deliver more effectively in the following three key areas:
o early detection of exotic and emerging diseases,
o endemic disease management, and
o biosecurity emergency responses.
