Lovely sit down with Abi Reader tonight for Bristol FAVS! Chatting about bTB and mental health (plus the delights of Glaswegian cuisine) Thanks Abi! #VetTwitter

"We're seeing a very rapid turnover." The first new vet school in Scotland in 150 years could be a solution to a staffing crisis in the sector, according to SRUC. The facility in Aberdeen opens in September. Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons has published an action plan to try to tackle the problem.

Yesterday I found out that my proposal for a University of Bristol #AnimalWelfare Society has been accepted! Super excited to start planning events and to work with a great committee. If you’d be interested in giving a talk or running an event, please get in touch! #VetTwitter

This is honestly great to see! Good on them for doing the research and understanding what is involved before buying an exotic pet (or even better, adopting!) #AnimalWelfare

Late to the party but finally watching Clarkson’s Farm. Disappointing to see reckless behaviour being idolised and made light of. As someone who has lost a family member in a farm accident, it’s frustrating to see. Farms are dangerous places and tractors aren’t toys. #FarmSafety

The Veterinary Schools Council (VSC) wants to understand the costs that students incur in respect to EMS placements and how these costs impact on the decisions you make. We'd be grateful if you could complete this short survey about your experience. surveymonkey.co.uk/r/emsvetstuden…

Last teaching week of vet school year 1! It’s been good so far, elected as small ruminant rep for FAVS and held the first meeting for our animal welfare society! Last day tomorrow and then 3 weeks of revision before first year exams 🤞

New RSPCA sheep standards! I worked on these during my time with the department so great to see them live. Added in points on heat stress, humane end points and parasite control based on the SCOPS principles. Take a look! science.rspca.org.uk/documents/d/sc…

Yesterday our new University of Bristol Animal Welfare Society hosted it's final event of 2023 with Sean Wensley's talk and book signing. A great way to round off a fab first term of talks and trips, all to encourage students to explore animal welfare! Here's to next year! 🐾

2023 will go down as the year of collaboration with the launch of the RH&W Dairy Welfare and RH&W Sheep welfare strategies in June and November respectively #UKSheepWelfare23 #UKDairyWelfare23

Great delivery from M&S and DPD today... What was meant to be a prize in a charity quiz turned into a soggy mess! The whole point was it could fit through the letter box? Or at least leave it under the covered porch not in the open! Very frustrated!

Thanks for taking the time to talk with us Awal! A really interesting presentation and a great learning opportunity for future vets.
