You may never have seen behind the consultation room in a veterinary practice.

This film portrays a day in the life of small animal, equine, exotics and farm vets and nurses in first opinion, referrals and out-of-ours practices we are linked to.

So take a look at the work our vets and nurses do on the front line every day to look after animals in veterinary practices, hospitals, in the field and on call- so that they receive the best possible care.

Thanks to Molly Case for the poem you have written about our profession.
