| + | |Introduction=Nottingham Vet School is the first brand new, purpose-built veterinary school in the UK for over 50 years and |
| + | it is our intent to make significant leading contributions to both veterinary research and teaching within the |
| + | context of valid relevance and application to the wider veterinary profession. |
| + | |History=Opened in 2006, the School of Veterinary Medicine and Science is set to become a UK leader in its field. The |
| + | School has a dynamic, vibrant and highly stimulating teaching and research environment which is achieved |
| + | through an international blend of students and researchers who are committed to innovative learning and |
| + | scientific discovery. It is the newest School addition to the University of Nottingham and is situated on the rural |
| + | Sutton Bonington Campus located 10 miles south of Nottingham city. |
| | | |
− | [[Category:Vet Schools]] | + | Needless to say, as a new School we have state-of-the-art purpose built facilities for both research and teaching. |
| + | A Teaching Building comprises a lecture theatre, large seminar room, teaching laboratories and a number of |
| + | small-group teaching rooms, together with staff offices and research facilities including generic laboratories |
| + | and specialist facilities such as anaerobic / microbiology, RNA and radioisotope laboratories. A Clinical Building |
| + | includes a large anatomy laboratory, surgery suite, teaching laboratories, seminar rooms, a large clinical skills |
| + | laboratory and other clinical skills rooms together with animal facilities. |
| + | |Education=At a time when the veterinary world is facing many new challenges, it is our aim to equip our undergraduate |
| + | students with the diagnostic, medical, surgical and other skills required to succeed in a changing world. We |
| + | offer three exciting and innovative undergraduate degree courses which are designed to provide our students |
| + | with the skills and experience they will need to become practising veterinary surgeons. |
| + | |
| + | The curriculum combines a clinically-focused basic science programme, relevant clinical learning opportunities |
| + | with integrated research. We believe that the development of our innovative curriculum meets the industry |
| + | need for veterinary graduates with practical and problem-solving abilities, an understanding of the need for |
| + | lifelong learning and confidence and competence in their skills at graduation. Our undergraduate veterinary |
| + | course brings students into contact with animals and clinical case scenarios from the very beginning of the |
| + | course. |
| + | |
| + | We also provide a diverse, vibrant and stimulating environment for research and consultancy, and are ranked |
| + | top for research in the UK. |

| + | |Research=The academic staff of the School work within 5 strategic research areas: Infection and Immunity; Population |
| + | Health and Welfare; Comparative Medicine; Reproductive Biology and Veterinary Educational Research. Our |
| + | research is closely aligned with that in the School of Biosciences with whom we share some research facilities |
| + | and equipment. The involvement of our Clinical Associates and other organisations within our research |
| + | programs enables the identification of clinical problems in the field and the rapid application of investigational |
| + | science to these problems in both production and companion animal species. |
| + | |
| + | The diversity of research interests among academic members of staff, together with the collaborative nature |
| + | of our research, extensive state-of-the-art research facilities and excellent technical expertise provided by |
| + | skilled laboratory technicians and up to date information technology places us at the leading edge of veterinary |
| + | research and development. In the 2008 Research Assessment Exercise, the School of Veterinary Medicine and |
| + | Science joint submission with the School of Biosciences was ranked first in the country for the power of its |
| + | research with 95% of its activities classified at an international standard. |
| + | |Clinical=Clinical education and experience on the undergraduate programme is completed in the lecture free final year |
| + | through Clinical Practice Modules, in which students work alongside local clinical staff and university academic |
| + | staff placed in Clinical Associate Institutions. The Clinical Practice Modules provide experience of all domestic |
| + | species, livestock production systems and wildlife conservation, as well as pathology and public health. |
| + | |
| + | Our approach to Clinical Practice Module teaching provides students with experience of first and second opinion |
| + | cases and will result in the completion of the acquisition of true 'Day One' competencies. Teaching and learning |
| + | is based upon observation, discussion and practical experience; at each institution, students are under the |
| + | supervision of university academic staff placed at, and working within, the institution. |
| + | |
| + | Although the Clinical Associates will be primarily involved in Year 5 Clinical Practice Module rotations, some |
| + | are also involved in teaching delivery in earlier years. The School is also installing "teaching and learning |
| + | observatories" - videoconferencing facilities allowing the real-time delivery of clinical material into the school |
| + | from the Clinical Associates' premises. |
