About us.Entia has been established by professionals who have many years experience in the veterinary sector, both as practicing veterinarians and in veterinary education. We are an independent accrediting and awarding body offering a fresh new look on how veterinary professionals, wanting to attend high quality Continuing Professional Development (CPD), can achieve a Certificate without hours of onerous study for final examinations.
We offer CPD providers the opportunity to gain accreditation for their courses, which lead to the ‘Entia Certificate in Advanced Studies’ (ECAS) range of awards. |
Who we work withEntia is run by an independent accreditation and examination committee who are responsible for the conduct and transparency of both the accreditation of courses and the certification process. All committee members are veterinarians who have a wealth of knowledge in education and supporting roles.
|
Our GoalEntia has been established to provide a standardised level of accreditation and certification for veterinary CPD bodies and other relevant organisations. As a non-membership organisation, Entia maintains an objective distance from training providers to preserve the value of its accreditation and certification.

Gerry Henry qualified from Glasgow Veterinary School in 1979 and was commissioned into the RAVC the same year as veterinary officer with the Kings Troop Royal Horse Artillery where he was responsible for the health and welfare of 180 army horses. After army service he worked in equine and equine/sa practice in Newmarket and Northumberland until 1987 when he joined the Ministry of Agriculture in Yorkshire. His period of service coincided with the onset of the BSE epidemic and his duties were divided equally between notifiable disease and animal welfare. In 1994 he left MAFF and locummed intensively for two years before setting up his own small animal practice in Glenrothes, Fife. In 2002 he sold this practice and took a year out before opening another practice in Corstorphine, Edinburgh. In 2013 having outgrown the original premises he acquired part of a supermarket site in South Queensferry which he converted into a dedicated small animal facility. In 2017 he sold both practices to concentrate on his personal research and writing. Gerry is married with two grown up children and lives in Fife.
Gerry joined Entia in 2017 at Head of the Accreditation Board.
