We provide experience and training for student vets

We know how daunting it can be to ensure you complete the Extra Mural Studies (EMS) that your university expects you to do. We are here to support you to not only do the right number of weeks in the type of practice you wish to experience but also to ensure that you get the best learning experience while you are with us.

N.B. EMS placements are only for those already studying to be a vet at University.
