In the run up to World Rabies Day, an urgent need to ramp up public and health worker knowledge about this dangerous and deadly disease, not only in rabies-endemic countries but also in countries free from rabies. British nurse Robyn Thomson, whose mother died after a scratch from a puppy in Morocco, shares her determination to raise rabies awareness across the UK's health sector. We also preview a 28-day countdown to World Rabies Day and a new series of community education films in multiple languages. WHO’s rabies lead Dr Bernadette Abela reflects on the current funding environment and urges us all to ‘stay creative’.

Hosted by Dr Katie Hampson, University of Glasgow, with guests Robyn Thomson; Kerenza Vlastou, Community and Outreach Director, GARC; Sarah Beeching, Adviser to United Against Rabies and Dr Bernadette Abela, Rabies Lead, Malaria and NTD team, World Health Organization. With contributions from Dr Madi Savadogo, Burkina Faso and Dr James Ngatia, Kenya.
