Training and Work Experience
Veterinary Students Placements
We enjoy having students with us as part of their training. We regularly host students from all over the UK as we provide excellent opportunities to gain experience across all species. We are often fully booked 12 months in advance. Please complete the form below if you would like to be considered for an EMS placement.
Requirements
As students are seeing clients alongside our vets we expect the same high standards of conduct and professional appearance as we do from our staff. Students should arrive with clean waterproof protective clothing and boots for farm visits, and should be smartly dressed. Placement days run with our working day, so students should arrive for 8:30am, and will finish by 6:30pm. Bringing lunch is recommended.
Work experience
We also regularly offer placements for school students wishing to explore a career in the veterinary industry, either as a vet or a vet nurse. These placements also book up very far in advance, and are usually only provided to those students attending Ullswater Community College, Queen Elizabeth Grammar School, Appleby Grammar School or Keswick School. Work experience students spend time in the surgery seeing all aspects of small animal work and can also observe any farm or equine cases that attend the practice.
