Oh, and don’t forget to treat yourself to a proper Lancashire tea in one of our legendary mugs! 🤭

Last week, we welcomed Alison Price to our School to present the Linnaeus Professionalism Award to one of our incredible 1st‑year BVMS students.🩺

We are thrilled to announce that this year’s winner is Malwina Nawojczyk, who was recognised for her outstanding professionalism, communication, and commitment to her development!🏆

Malwina was voted for by peers, staff and IMR placement providers, who all highlighted how her attributes made her an exceptional candidate and a brilliant member of our School community!

We can’t wait to see all that Malwina continues to achieve as she progresses through the BVMS course.

Congratulations again Malwina and to all of our amazing nominees! The future of veterinary medicine is in very good hands.🐾

Last week, our academics delivered a perfectly timed Pet First Aid session for staff across 🐾

As part of Learn at Work Week, staff learned about common pet toxins, keeping pets safe during hot weather ☀️, and even practised pet CPR using the same teaching models our veterinary students use in training.

A huge thank you to our brilliant team for making it such a success! 👏

What is EMS?! 🤔

EMS means Extra Mural Studies - which basically means placements outside of teaching time. In first and second year, these placements are to be non-clinical (not in a veterinary practice) which means lots of time on farms, rescue centres, animal sanctuaries, zoos and much more!

Our students love getting out and about and grow in confidence with each and every placement. At this time of year there are lots of lambing opportunities, but there’s always a chance of seeing some more exotic animals too!

Discover more about the placement opportunities available to our students in the link in our bio 🔗

What Easter break?! 🐣 🐑

For our students in all years, a break in studies means time to complete som EMS placements, and at this time of year, that means a whole load of lambing!

The same goes for some of our staff who like to keep their skills renewed by staying in practice. Farm Animal Lecturer, Scott, is working at a farm vet in Snowdonia this week, dealing with lots of lambing, calving and c-sections!

We love seeing what our staff and students are up to when they’re not on our lovely campus!

How safe is eventing, and what can we do to make it safer? 🐎

Join Dr Heather Cameron-Whytock in a free webinar as she shares powerful insights from her latest research into risk in eventing, including:

🔹 Horse falls
🔹 Fatality risk
🔹 What speed across cross-country can tell us

Eventing will always carry risk, but how much of it is preventable? By understanding where and why things go wrong, we can make smarter, evidence-based decisions to protect both horses and riders.

📅 Tomorrow, 14th April
⏰ 19:30
💻 Free online session as part of the Animalweb Ltd Spring Horse & Rider Safety Series

Don’t miss this opportunity to be part of the conversation shaping safer horse sport.
