This year is flying by! These 5 lovely students have spent the past 2 weeks being part of the team at the Pet Practice 🥰

They have show such excellent teamwork skills during their time with us, and have really embodied the values we try to promote in the Pet Practice - working hard but also trying to have a positive and fun working environment where we can perform to our best 🥰

On their last day, they brought in some home baking to keep us going during a very busy day which was much appreciated! 🧁

We hope they “LOVE”d their time with us - it certainly looks like it from this photo 😉

Waving off another 8 final year students after a great 2 weeks with us!

Whilst the students spend time with us to expose them to what life in general practice is like and to develop their hands-on skills, there’s a whole other set of qualities that we try to work on while they are with us. This includes the mindset of being a “life-long learner”, creating their own learning opportunities and staying curious.
Incidentally, these are things that both the University of Glasgow and our veterinary licensing body both recognise as essential attributes.

The last few weeks have unfortunately been filled with cancelled procedures and people not turning up for their appointments, and it’s meant that our lovely students have had less patients to see as a result.

What made us really proud was that this group didn’t let this stop their learning - they were spending time researching the cases they did see, asking questions, looking through lab results, thinking about how they would have managed that patient they didn’t end up seeing. They were creating their own learning opportunities and it was wonderful to see them showing so many of the qualities we want them to take into their lives as qualified vets from the University of Glasgow!

Best of luck to this fabulous group with the rest of final year!

Where is the time going.....another Pet Practice rotation complete. ✅️ We hope you and your pets enjoyed meeting these wonderful students over the last couple of weeks.

During their time with us, we ask the students to focus on their achievements and what has gone well for them and share with the team and each other. 🏅

A few highlights from their 'Wins of the Week'....'finding the uterus during a bitch spay', 'taking a blood sample from a kitten', 'placing an iv catheter in a dachshund', 'identifying a heart murmur', 'perfect kc vaccination administration', 'completing intradermal sutures', gowning and gloving on crutches'. 😁

Good luck with the rest of final year, we hope that you continue smashing those wins!! 🏆🐾🩺
