Ep018 – FIVP Practice Matters: The Bella Moss Foundation

PRACTICE MATTERS Federation of Independent Veterinary Practices

It’s a slightly extended edition this time as we meet three guests who all have an interest in educating and
supporting pet carers and veterinary professionals in the prevention and treatment of resistant bacteria.


Jill Moss is the founder of the charity The Bella Moss Foundation and joining her are two of the charity’s
trustees – Mike Brampton and Neil Forbes. Jill will be explaining why practice hygiene is so vitally important to the future of animal and human health. She also shares the heartbreaking story of her dog, Bella, and why her death inspired the founding of The Bella Moss Foundation.

Mike Brampton is an author, managing director, lecturer, entrepreneur, podcast host and qualified Arctic guide and seafarer. Mike has been in and around both the medical and veterinary healthcare industries since 1980, working in a range of roles but mainly centred around the operating theatre and anaesthesia.


Dr Neil Forbes appeared on Practice Matters a couple of months ago and must accept responsibility for the incredible but unsurprising interest in his episode which dealt with practice hygiene. Neil’s accolades in the industry are far too numerous to list to the extent where he has received multiple UK and international awards, he has published over 86 scientific peer reviewed papers, contributed to 38 books and lectured internationally for over 30 years particularly on infection control and was instrumental in setting up the BVNA Infection Control Training course.
