Clinical skills facilities

The School of Veterinary Medicine has outstanding clinical skills training facilities for both small and large animals. Students have access to these facilities to practise their skills both within the working week and for out-of-hours practise sessions.

Our facilities

The use of these facilities allows students to practise clinical skills by experimental learning in a safe environment, building confidence and proficiency prior to attempting procedures on live patients. This improves student performance and reduces anxiety, whilst benefiting patient safety and welfare.

Research

International collaboration with other veterinary educators has enabled the School of Veterinary Medicine to maintain high standards of model development and to remain at the forefront of this emerging field of clinical skills training.
