What is fieldwork
2013
Abstract Fieldwork implies the performance of veterinary procedures away from a normal workplace. In the context of exotic animals and wildlife, this often means or suggests working overseas in poorer regions of the world, but even in richer countries, field techniques may be required to diagnose disease or to carry out veterinary treatment. Equipment for such work has to be carefully selected and either transported to the location or made available on site. Standard utilities may not be available, calling for alternative sources of power such as battery or solar energy, and water may have to be carried or collected. There may be limited assistance, difficult terrain, and poor communication. As this and ensuing articles show, those involved in fieldwork, wherever it takes place, need to be adaptable and versatile. Health and safety are always important considerations.
