RCVS releases VetGDP animations
Resources aim to make programme understandable for graduates, practices and advisers.
New resources to aid understanding of the programme.

The Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons (RCVS) has published a series of short animated resources to help members of the professions to gain a better understanding of the Veterinary Graduate Development Programme (VetGDP).

The College has created the short animations to provide guidance on the following areas:


Further questions about VetGDP can be sent to the RCVS Education team at vetgdp@rcvs.org.uk.
