We can accept student nurse block placements from those on the degree qualification. Again, we would only have one at once and as we have our own SVN we try to make sure you’re not at the same stage as them so that you’re not both trying to be involved with the same cases at the same time.

We can also take SVNs who are studying and working at Dick White Referrals and need a first opinion placement to help complete their training.

If your interested in having a placement with us, then email Simon on nurses@nmvets.co.uk with a bit about who you are, where you study, what you are looking to get out of the placement and the dates you are interested in and he will take it from there.

When you come for your placement get stuck in, let us know what you’re looking to learn. We like to see enthusiasm and love for the job, we also like to hear how you’ve been taught things. Learning is always a two-way street.

We are always happy to take vet students on EMS placements. We don’t have accommodation, but we can try and help find you something locally if needed.

We only take one vet student at a time to make sure you get the most out of the placement. The summer months book up fast, but we would always advise you booking with as much notice as you can. We have many returning vet students, so that clearly tells you we are a good place to see practice. We love our profession and want you to share our love.

With so many negative nelly’s it can sometimes be hard not to get lost in your transition though vet school and into your first jobs. We want to give you the feedback that will enable you to progress and an experience that builds up your confidence, so that when you hit day one as a newly qualified vet you don’t just hope you will do ok, you know you will.

If you want to book a placement then email Jenny Reason (MRCVS) on hello@nmvets.co.uk with a short bit about you, which uni you are at and what year you are in, alongside a list of potential dates that you are looking for. We usually advise a minimum of a 2-week placement to get the most from your time with us.

When you come on placement with us come armed with a list (at least in your head) of things you want to get out of the placement. We will try our best to help you accomplish this.

Come ready to learn, not just from our vets but from the rest of our team as well. Our nurses are incredibly skilled and are never to be underestimated, our receptionists are the bees’ knees of client care. You can learn from them all if you’re open to it.
