A Wrexham-based veterinary imaging provider is setting new standards in the industry.

Aspire UCS, founded in 2016 by Angie Lloyd-Jones and Julie Burnage, has developed a state-of-the-art training phantom.

This product, launched at the London Vet Show earlier this month, aims to provide accessible, high-quality ultrasound training and mentorship within the veterinary industry.

The training phantom allows veterinary professionals to build their skills in a controlled environment.

This is a response to the inconsistencies in the industry, where many professionals lack the confidence or training to use ultrasound equipment effectively.

Aspire UCS was created to help veterinary practices turn their under-utilised ultrasound equipment into an important diagnostic tool.

The company provides the necessary expertise and guidance to prevent unnecessary treatments, surgeries, or even animal euthanasia due to improper use of ultrasound machines.

Ms Lloyd-Jones and Ms Burnage bring more than 85 years of dedicated ultrasound experience to the field, having worked both in medical diagnostic ultrasound and within the veterinary profession.

Their cross-disciplinary knowledge, including the legal requirement for human sonographers in the UK to report on their findings, has informed Aspire UCS's rigorous training standards.

Their dedication has earned them global recognition.

In 2022, their guidelines for veterinary ultrasound were endorsed by leading international bodies.

More recently, the European College of Veterinary Practices invited them to help create the European College of Veterinary Diagnostic Imaging (EAVIP).

Aspire UCS's impact also extends beyond training.

Their 'Sonographer on Your Shoulder' programme has been widely acclaimed, providing accessible, high-quality learning for professionals in the industry.

They have been invited to speak at a range of special events, including the Emergency and Critical Care Congress, and have provided training to vets worldwide, including in Dubai, Lebanon, Pakistan, Portugal, Spain, and the USA.

Ms Lloyd-Jones and Ms Burnage have reinvested more than £100,000 into the business and continue to forgo salaries in a bid to support its growth.

This commitment has earned the company more than 85 five-star reviews on Google, and a growing reputation as a trusted name in veterinary imaging education.
