It's a wrap 🎬
Our 2027 CPD small animal photo shoot was a huge success this weekend.
We welcomed a fantastic cast of furry, scaly, and shelled stars, including cats, dogs, snakes, tortoises, rabbits, and guinea pigs!

A big thank you to all our staff and students who brought along their beloved pets. We couldn't have done it without our amazing animal models! 📸✨🐶🐱🐍🐢🐰

Webinar Plus: Mastering communication in veterinary practice
Monday 8th June to Sunday 5th July
Communication isn’t an inborn gift. It’s a skill you can learn, refine, and strengthen. Great communication transforms more than just the interactions we have, it transforms careers. With these skills, you’ll not only reduce daily frustrations but also create the foundation for a more sustainable, rewarding, and fulfilling life in practice.
