The Milton Keynes Inspiration Awards is proud to support and help raise awareness for Medical Detection Dogs — a pioneering UK charity that trains dogs to detect the odour of human disease.
Their mission is to develop faster, more efficient, and less invasive diagnostics that lead to better patient outcomes.
Medical Detection Dogs are at the forefront of research in the fight against cancer, Parkinson’s disease, bacterial infections, and other life-threatening conditions. Their Bio Detection Dogs are trained to recognise the unique odour of diseases in samples such as urine, breath, and sweat, with the potential to benefit millions worldwide.
In addition, their Medical Alert Assistance Dogs utilise the science of canine olfaction to detect subtle changes in an individual’s scent, alerting them to an impending medical event and helping people with complex, life-threatening conditions live safer, more independent lives.
The charity places dog welfare at the heart of everything they do. From the moment each puppy joins them, they are cared for in loving homes — never kennelled — and nurtured by dedicated staff and volunteers.
Medical Detection Dogs rely on the generosity of supporters, charitable trusts, and the public to continue their life-saving work.
