The Scottish chapter of SITE are coming together to collectively "Walk 500 miles" during the month of November to support our Nominated charity for 2020 - Medical Detection Dogs.

We want to show our support and showcase our beautiful country which has fallen on such hard times due to the impact of Covid -19. Without a doubt our industry has been amongst the hardest hit of all and anything that we can do to rally the efforts toward finding a resolution to the impact of what we are living in has to be on everyone's priority list.

Scotland is one of the most amazing places in the world and should be open for everyone to come and see and enjoy. Whilst that sadly cannot happen just now, we as ambassadors for our beautiful country have come together to keep Scotland in the forefront of everyone's minds and raise money for a charity that does the most amazing work.

We are hoping to raise at least £500...maybe 500 more 🎵🎵

PLEASE donate whatever you can and help us smash our target...

Scotland is here and waiting and we can't wait for the time when we can throw our doors back open and welcome the world in to visit.

COVID-19 has caused a worldwide healthcare crisis.When it comes to controlling COVID-19, time is of the essence. We have a robust solution.COVID-19 Detection DogsWe we are confident that dogs could be used as a rapid diagnostic screen to detect COVID-19 infected individuals. COVID-19 Detection Dogs could triage high numbers incredibly quickly a 4 dog team could screen up to 1,000 people per hour to supplement ongoing testing and help prioritise the use of limited resources. Dogs could be used in public spaces such as airports to identify travellers arriving to the country either without symptoms or who are pre-symptomatic. Our dogs would provide rapid, accurate and non-invasive screening. An early warning system with the potential for rapid isolation. The presence of a trained dog would both indicate individuals who are incubating the disease and those who are may be mildly symptomatic but non-compliant and who require testing.
