− | |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.
