The state-of-the-art centre will be at the heart of the University’s new School of Veterinary Medicine, due to open in 2014. The new School buildings, which have been designed by leading architect firm Devereux, will be located on the University’s Manor Park campus in Guildford, and are set for completion by 2015.
The Clinical Skills Centre will combine live and simulation veterinary clinical skills training in a single facility. It will be used by undergraduate and postgraduate students and will also offer lifelong learning opportunities for practising veterinary surgeons, veterinary nurses, para-professionals and clinical scientists.
Professor Lisa Roberts, Dean of the Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences, comments: “We are delighted to have received this funding from HEFCE’s catalyst fund scheme. Surrey’s new Veterinary Clinical Skills Centre will provide the next generation of veterinarians with an outstanding facility. Training in this environment will increase our students’ confidence and competence, and will provide them with the best possible preparation for real-life clinical practice.”
