The primary role of the Library is to assist new graduates embarking on their Professional Development Phase (PDP), as well as vets and veterinary nurses keeping up with their CPD requirements.
We do this by offering subsidised membership scheme which offers a range of benefits, including access to a range of full text electronic journals and VetMed Resource, a bibliographic database on veterinary medicine, as well as discounts on our services.
Let our services and resources keep you informed on the latest information and reading in your area of interest.
