The University of Glasgow’s School of Veterinary Medicine is pre-eminent in teaching, research and clinical provision, and attracts students, researchers and clinicians from around the world. Our internationally accredited school provides an expert referral centre via the Small Animal Hospital, the Weipers Centre for Equine Welfare and the Scottish Centre for Production Animal Health & Welfare for animal owners and referring practitioners throughout the UK. In the Research Assessment Exercise 2008, the Grade Point Average for our research activity was the highest in Scotland and joint highest in the UK, reaffirming our position as one of the country’s leading veterinary schools.
The School of Veterinary Medicine has full accreditation from the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA) Council on Education and the next visitation is due in 2013.

Vet151
Following on from the success of our 150th Anniversary event we are delighted to announce Vet151. The weekend commences with the bi-annual Weipers Lecture early evening on Friday 1 November followed by a three streamed lecture programme of food animal, equine and small animal topics on Saturday. Integral to this is a commercial exhibition where delegates will convene for breaks. The social programme features a drinks reception, dinner and ceilidh. A number of sponsorship opportunities are available and the weekend gives an excellent opportunity to interact with a wide range of veterinary surgeons and scientists from UK and overseas in relaxed informal surroundings. I hope that you will want to be part of this event and look forward to hearing from you. Find details of the full programme here.

Events occurred throughout 2012 targeting the general public, veterinary surgeons and nurses, staff and students, friends and alumni. The focal point of the celebrations took place from 5-7 October 2012 and included the McCall Lecture, a day of CPD and a social programme.
