For a number of these students it was the first time they had been to the capital city, and for a couple the first time they had travelled by train.

Although sightseeing was on the agenda, the main object of the trip was to visit the Royal Veterinary College in Camden, London.

The staff at the RVC provided fascinating sessions on animal management, and there was no doubting the value of the experience the students’ obtained from the experienced staff - as some of these pictures testify!

Visits to the Natural History and Science Museums added to the experience, and complemented the knowledge gained at the Royal College.  The trip, which was partially funded by VETNET LLN, certainly contributed towards raising the progression aspirations of some of these students.
