Changes

The initial project steering group (representing Cambridge, Edinburgh and London veterinary schools as well as the LIVE Centre) currently meets on a virtual basis using Skype as a conference facility. However, occasional face to face meetings are also held for example at the AVRTW Conference or LIVE opening events. The intention is to expand the group to include the other UK veterinary schools (contacts at each of the schools have already been established).
