It’s a new year and we are getting ready for a new teaching session. For our BVetMed 3s this time it’s introducing all things Anaesthesia! Make sure you have done your pre session reading before you turn up to your session! See you soon!

This year’s #BlackHistoryMonth theme is ‘Proud to Be’ and the RVC, @RVCSU and @AnimalAsp are pleased to stage a series of events to celebrate and showcase the invaluable contributions, experiences and heritage of our black community ➡️ Find out more at: rvc.ac.uk/study/rvc-is-o…

This afternoon we welcomed our new first year Veterinary Nursing students to the CSC for a online introduction followed by a in person tour! We introduced all our facilities and look forward to seeing everyone soon for our sign ups! @RVCVN @RVCSU

The CSC team are excited to see RVC students returning to campus this term. Our practical classes are underway and we are looking forward to seeing many new faces. Don't forget to sign-up to one of our afternoon sessions for all students. For more information visit the CSC LEARN.

Congratulations to the wonderfully talented Larissa (Teaching fellow at the RVC Clinical skills centre) for passing her vet exams and becoming Dr Larissa Aquino Campos MRCVS. We are very proud of her!

It’s our last day teaching the part one suturing session today. We have had some positive and constructive feedback from our students as always . Want more? don’t worry part two starts next week and we have lots more resources online too to help you!

Suturing in the CSC goes techy in 2021! Thanks to the help of RVC AV technician (Chris) students are able to view suturing demonstrations in detail and at a safe distance.

Our Suturing and instrumentation teaching sessions are going really well this week. Remember to bring your suture packs with you and keep on practising.

Some dates for your diaries. Our satellite CSC reopens for all students on the 6th May. Our Thursday lates are back on the 13th of May and all our sign ups for all students resume on Tuesday the 18th of May. See you soon!

Halfway through the OSCE and everything is going well. Keeping everyone safe means lots of washing!

Tip 3 - If there is a calculation, you will be given a calculator, pen and paper. Write your workings down in full so you can go back to it if needed. Tip 4 - Use your REST stations. Have a drink of water, go to the bathroom. Stepping out of the circuit can help with exam stress.

Tip 1 - Don't worry about mistakes you may THINK you have made. Approach each station with a 'fresh start. Tip 2 - Read and RE-READ the scenario. Make sure you are doing what is being asked of you.

This week the CSC will be sharing some tips to help students get through their final year OSCEs. We invite our followers to share theirs too.
