Lectures were given by Sarah Baillie, chair of veterinary education at the University of Bristol; Jean Ker, director of the clinical skills centre at Dundee medical school; and Sheila Crispin, former-president of the RCVS. Delegates were also able to attend parallel workshops and poster sessions.

Susan Rhind, who chaired the organising committee said, 'This conference provides a fantastic opportunity to bring those involved in veterinary education together, to share ideas and develop new collaborations'.
