About the Medical Detection Dogs charity

Medical Detection Dogs are a charity that works in partnership with researchers, NHS Trusts and Universities. Their aim is to train specialist dogs to detect the odour of human disease.

Dogs are renowned for their sense of smell. For centuries doctors have known diseases have characteristic odours which dogs may be able to detect. Cancer cells release small amounts of volatile substances. Our Cancer Detection Dogs are being trained to detect these volatiles and we hope that this work and research will enable scientists to develop an early cancer screening
system.

Our Medical Alert Dogs are trained to assist individuals who manage complex medical conditions on a day to day basis. Our dogs are taught to identify the odour changes that are associated with certain medical events. For example for someone living with diabetes, hypoglycaemia (low blood sugar) or the avoidance of it can be a daily problem. Symptoms can vary from confusion to seizures or comas and be life threatening. Once trained, our Medical Alert Dogs recognise blood sugar levels outside the normal range and warn their owners or get help, before the symptoms are felt. They will bring their owner any necessary medical supplies such as glucose and blood testing kits. They can also be trained to push alarm buttons.

We also provide alert dogs for those with other very dangerous health conditions including; Addisonian crisis which causes severe pain, convulsions and unconsciousness. Pain seizures which lead to collapse and hospitalisation. Narcolepsy, a malfunction of the sleep/wake regulating system which causes sleep attacks and paralysis.

We continue to investigate other debilitating and potentially fatal conditions which our dogs may have the ability to help. These include severe allergic responses and migraines.

Thank you letter from Mary Rose School
Dear Karen

I would like to thank you very much for having Guy on his work experlence placement. This was a very worthwhile and enjoyable experience. We find that our students learn so much about the world of work when they are on a placement such as yours as well as developing their skills for independence and self confidence.

 

All our students came back to school bubbling with excitement, enthusiasm and pride and we have you to thank for this. We will be making a presentation at the student 'Prom' in July and will be inviting you along to share their success nearer the time. I do hope that we can build on the link we have made with you and look forward to meeting you in the future,

Annie Grice
Assistant Headteacher.
