Liz Mossop to join University of Lincoln
Prof Mossop will work to enhance the student experience.

New role as deputy vice chancellor to begin in summer

Professor Liz Mossop has been appointed as the University of Lincoln’s new deputy vice chancellor.

Currently based at the University of Nottingham, Professor Mossop will take on her new role as DVC for student development and engagement in early summer. It follows Professor Sue Rigby’s move to become vice chancellor at Bath Spa University.

Prof Mossop will provide strategic leadership for the whole of the student life-cycle, working to enhance the student experience, with a focus on teaching and learning, student engagement and employability.

Commenting on her appointment, she said: “I am delighted to be joining the University of Lincoln. I am incredibly impressed at the range and quality of student engagement initiatives undertaken by what is clearly an enthusiastic and innovative team.

“I am very much looking forward to learning more about the excellent teaching and learning happening at Lincoln, and being part of a team who are so ambitious and forward thinking when it comes to the student experience.”

Prof Mary Stuart, vice chancellor at Lincoln, said: “At Lincoln we have established a national reputation for our innovative approach to student engagement, reflected in our Gold award in the national Teaching Excellence Framework (TEF) in 2017.

“I am delighted that Liz will join us this summer and I look forward to working with her. She brings an outstanding track record for innovation in curriculum design, teaching and learning and above all a strong commitment to students and their development. I am sure colleagues across the University will look forward to welcoming her to Lincoln.”

Prof Mossop is currently professor of veterinary education and sub-dean for teaching, learning and assessment at Nottingham. She brings particular expertise in novel curriculum design and delivery, with an emphasis on the teaching and assessment of professional skills and professionalism.

She was awarded a Lord Dearing Award for outstanding teaching in 2007 and 2013, and a National Teaching Fellowship from the Higher Education Academy in 2016. She developed an award-winning teaching internship programme at Nottingham and led the vet school to obtaining an AMEE ASPIRE award for excellence in student engagement.

BBC Radio 4 documentary addresses corporate fees

BBC Radio 4's File on 4 Investigates has released a documentary exploring how corporate-owned veterinary practices may be inflating bills to increase profit.

Released on 15 April, 'What's Happening To Your Vet Bills?' revealed the policies which many corporate groups have in place to increase their profits. This included targets and upgrades which veterinary teams are tasked with meeting on a regular basis.

It also features Anrich Vets, an independently-owned practice based in Wigan. Following the case of Staffordshire terrier Benjy, who is diagnosed with a tumour, the documentary shares how the team were able to offer contextualised care and advice to make the procedure as affordable as possible for his owners.

The documentary can be heard on demand on BBC iPlayer.
