Additionally, the initiative participates in the implementation of the “Spanish Plan to minimise the risk of selection and dissemination of antimicrobial resistance”.
It has a communication Plan addressed to vets, farmers, pet owners and Vetstudents: Vetresponsable has already visited almost all the Veterinary Schools in Spain.
