Centre stage for veterinary education
Annual Vet Education Symposium took place in July

 The Royal (Dick) School of Veterinary Studies in Edinburgh hosted the the third annual Veterinary Education (VETED) symposium in July.

Attended by over 90 delegates from as far as Australia and North America, the symposium brought together educationalists, practitioners, researchers and students in order to share innovation, ideas and best practice in veterinary education.

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'.

Next year's VETED symposium will be held in Dublin.
