two.1.4) Short description
Bristol Vet School is already expanding student numbers and is looking to expand further in the future. In order to do so, and to maintain an excellent student experience for our veterinary students in their final year, we are looking to enter into a long-term educational partnership that will secure our ability to place our students in high-quality, primarily first opinion practices, on clinical rotations. We are seeking to identify an educational partner who would be able to provide both breadth (across species) and depth of intramural rotation provision for up to 300 students within the next 5- to 10-years. A large proportion of clinical rotations would remain at Langford campus but, in line with RCVS future accreditation requirements, we will need additional first opinion practices able to take our students for core rotations.
