|Introduction=[http://www.nottingham.ac.uk/vet/index.aspx University of Nottingham, School of Veterinary Medicine and Science] etc introductory text
|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.

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.
The school's Clinical Associates are:
* Defence Animal Centre (DAC)
* Dick White Referrals
* Dovecote Veterinary Hospital
* Minster Veterinary Practice
* Oakham Veterinary Hospital
* PDSA
* Scarsdale Veterinary Group
* Twycross Zoo
* Veterinary Laboratories Agency (VLA)
