“When the project first launched, we did not anticipate how widespread the uptake would be,” says Dr Nick Short Head of the e-Media Unit at the Royal Veterinary College, one of the founders of the WikiVet project.  “The fact that it is has now been used by many veterinary students, both in UK vet schools and around the world, as a key source of quality veterinary learning material, justifies all the efforts of those engaged in its production over the years” said Nick. “We share Ella’s aims in improving veterinary resources globally”.

Additional to the key role played by volunteers, a commercial wing of WikiVet was established in 2015 to help provide financial support for its maintenance and further expansion. Director of WikiVet Trading Co. Ltd, Graham Dick sees the 50,000th registrant as a milestone from which the future of WikiVet will continue to expand. “The goal of making quality veterinary educational materials readily available to all who study or practice veterinary science is a worthwhile challenge, for which funds as well as goodwill of contributors are critical to the Trust’s sustainability”, said Graham. “We hope that Ella and all other users of WikiVet will continue to find its content helpful in whatever aspect of veterinary study they may undertake.”
