Summers over here comes Autumn and the London Vet Show

Our summer ended on the amazing Greek Island of Santorini http://www.ava2010santorini.org/

Thank you Dimitris for a fabulous meeting and good clinical speakers, that was a meeting to remember. Click here for more details on the Association of Veterinary Anaesthetists http://www.ava.eu.com/

We are now preparing for a busy Autumn schedule, with the company exhibiting at the London Vet Show, Stand D160 where we will have some beautiful new and show only designed Thamescope Stethoscopes, perfect Christmas presents for those hard to buy for Vets and Nurses. http://www.londonvetshow.co.uk/

On the Thames Medical hen front, Sapphire and Emerald have agreed to help a lonely orphaned girl called Caramel, a blue egg laying Leghorn, who will be joining us in a couple of days time.

Mike meanwhile is preparing for a return to the velodrome at the League Of Veterans National Track Championships in October, ride hard Mike.

From Fox attack to Le Mans

Bad News... the local dog fox savaged 3 of our 4 hens, killing 2 outright and leaving the third (Sapphire) for dead - cut bruised and bleeding with lots of feathers missing. We have nursed her back to health and she has started laying again, one very lucky hen.

Managing Director Mike has also finished his charity rides this month. Riding around the coast of Scotland for The Great Tour in support of Prostate Cancer, and the 24hr Le Mans bicycle race with Chris Putman to raise money for the Brighton based Children's Charity, Adventure Unlimited. The intrepid pair finished 7th in the pairs section and rode for the full 24 hours covering 497 miles at an average of 20.7mph.

We are now looking forward to next months Veterinary Anaesthesia meeting on Santorini, see all you gas baggers there!

From British Olympic Teams to Rescue Chickens

What a week, from exhibiting at the Northern Vet Show to discussing the final details of a special project for some of the British Teams for 2012. Thames Medical have, using technology we developed nearly 12 years ago for the SAS, built a special pulse oximeter probe which it is hoped will be instrumental in bringing our Olympic teams Gold in London in 2012.

We are also due to announce 4 new additions to the family, when the 4 chickens from the British Hen Welfare Trust join us in June.
