Admissions ceremony for Surrey vet grads
"It was a privilege and pleasure to share this special occasion with the students" - Dr Kate Richards, RCVS president.

2021 graduates welcomed back to celebrate entering the profession. 

The University of Surrey's School of Veterinary Medicine held an admissions ceremony for its 2021 graduates with the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons (RCVS).

Over 50 graduates were welcomed back to the university for the ceremony, which was led by RCVS president Dr Kate Richards, and were formally admitted to the RCVS Register of Veterinary Surgeons. 

Kate Richards said: “Celebrating the success of Surrey Vet School graduates was especially rewarding given the challenges they faced during their studies. It was a privilege and pleasure to share this special occasion with the students and mark such an important milestone.”

In the ceremony, the graduates were led through the RCVS professional declaration, and were then formally welcomed to the profession by Kate Richards, who highlighted the resilience of the class of 2021, and the diverse career opportunities open to the graduates.

Head of the Surrey's School of Veterinary Medicine, Professor Chris Proudman, commented on the celebration: “The event was a lovely opportunity to celebrate the achievements of our 2021 graduates and to wish them well on their entry into the veterinary profession. 

“They completed their studies under extremely challenging circumstances; they demonstrated remarkable adaptability and resilience. I have no doubt that these attributes will help them achieve success and fulfilment in their future careers.”

BSAVA publishes Guide to Nutrition in Small Animal Practice

The BSAVA has added a small animal nutrition advice booklet to its series of BSAVA guides.

The BSAVA Guide to Nutrition in Small Animal Practice offers a resource for veterinary professionals to provide appropriate nutrition for animals. As well as maintaining the wellbeing of healthy pets, the guide explores how nutritional requirements change in times of illness and disease.

The guide is divided into five sections, which explore the importance of nutritional assessment; diet types; feeding at different life stages; feeding for specific situations; and feeding for specific diseases. Online resources are also in the BSAVA Library including client handouts and videos.

It is designed to be suitable for referencing, in-depth case planning and team training sessions.

The BSAVA Guide to Nutrition in Small Animal Practice can be purchased online from the BSAVA store.
