Discover Veterinary Nursing - First Aid Taster Session

23 April 2026 

5.30pm – 6.30pm BST 

Thinking about a future in veterinary nursing?

Join us for a Veterinary Nursing taster lecture at the RVC, led by Lyn O’Byrne, and experience a session inspired by real teaching from the course.

You’ll explore how veterinary teams respond when animals need urgent care, including what counts as an emergency, how patients are prioritised through triage, and the role of first aid in practice. The session will also introduce key principles such as assessing patients on arrival, understanding the limits of first aid, and the importance of safety when managing emergency situations.

Whether you’re just exploring your options or thinking about applying, this session provides a valuable insight into the courses and the hands-on learning that prepares students for a rewarding career in veterinary nursing.

Discover Animal Behaviour & Welfare - Sentience Taster Session

19 May 2026

5pm – 6pm BST 

Thinking about studying animal behaviour, welfare or ethics?

Join us for an Animal Biology, Behaviour, Welfare and Ethics taster lecture at the RVC, hosted by Dr Andrew Crump, and get an insight into real teaching from the course.

This session explores the concept of animal sentience, how scientists investigate whether animals can experience feelings such as pleasure and pain, and the types of evidence used across a range of species, including invertebrates.
You’ll also consider how this research connects to real-world decisions, including its influence on animal welfare policy, as well as the ethical questions that arise when thinking about how animals are treated in areas such as farming, research and everyday life.

Alongside the lecture, you’ll be introduced to our Animal Biology, Behaviour, Welfare, and Ethics course and have the chance to hear about studying at the RVC.

This is a great opportunity to explore this subject area in more detail and start thinking about your next steps.
