Year 12 students had a great experience at The Royal Veterinary college hearing from vets and vet nurses about their journey into the industry. Students got to diagnose Bruno and learnt how to x-ray and bandage animals. Great to see ex Caterham science teacher Mr Spall running the outreach team at RVC.
