The meeting is by invitation only, those invited to participate include student groups, vet schools, employers, placement providers, veterinary representative organisations and new graduates, bringing those in the sector together to discuss new ideas around longer-term plans for EMS, to support future students with vital experience in the workplace before graduation.
