Medical Detection Dogs trains Medical Alert Assistance Dogs for people who live with life-threatening conditions. It also researches whether trained dogs can detect the scent of disease, including cancer, in samples such as breath or urine. The charity is based in Great Horwood, Buckinghamshire.
“This is a charity that asks a serious question about earlier detection, and that already places dogs with people who need an alert they can trust. I have joined the Board as a trustee to help oversee the quality of that research and the safety of the people it serves.”
— Dr Fiona Tsang-Wright, trustee, Medical Detection Dogs
She joins a trustee board chaired by Robert Wilson. The charity’s Medical Adviser is Dr Alan Makepeace, consultant oncologist at Mount Vernon Cancer Centre.
