Future Vets in the Making: University of Lancashire x Medivet's Summer School

A Week of Discovery and Growth

The young professionals who joined us took part in varied and immersive activities to build both technical skills and personal confidence. Some of the taster sessions we hosted included:

• Anatomy and clinical skills workshops
• Animal handling and canine confidence sessions
• Coaching and personal statement writing support
• Guest lectures and Q&A sessions

One of our personal highlights was when the students had the opportunity to lead a “reverse interview”. This saw them quiz Medivet colleagues and university staff. We really were blown away by their insight, curiosity, and knowledge.

The week concluded with a celebratory awards ceremony to mark the achievements of our participants and show them we truly recognise their potential.

Reflecting Our Values

Our collaboration with the University of Lancashire is about much more than a week of learning and activities. This collaboration embodies our culture and values. 

We’re equally committed to our animals as we are to our people, and we’re always seeking opportunities for growth and development that extend across our network, from early careers through to our veterinary surgeons and branch partners.

Join a Community Built on Care

The success of our summer school with the University of Lancashire is just the beginning. We’re hopeful that this programme can become a regular part of how we inspire, support, and welcome the next generation of vets into our community!

Now that you know a bit more about the wider initiatives we get up to at Medivet, it’s time to browse our opportunities so you too can make a difference to our future veterinary professionals.
