Other Events

Veterinary Defence Society Graduate Reunions

The VDS invites all veterinary surgeons to attend a one day seminar, followed by a reunion dinner at their vet school one year after qualification.

The seminars look at communication skills which are brought to life by professional role players and are an opportunity for everyone to swap stories, good and bad, about life after qualifying and representatives from the major veterinary societies and organisations are on hand to help find solutions to any issues that come up for discussion.

Open discussion, very friendly.  Really well presented – very enjoyable, actors were fantastic.

 

Advice received for issues experienced in practice – questions answered

 

It’s great fun!
