New Veterinary School Plans to Embrace Links Between Human and Animal Health

New Veterinary School Plans to Embrace Links Between Human and Animal Health PR Newswire GUILDFORD, England, October 25, 2012 GUILDFORD, England, October 25, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- A new world-class School of Veterinary Medicine will be launched at the University of Surrey in 2014, constructed around the theme that human and animal health is intrinsically linked. The announcement of the plans today (Thursday 25 October) shows how the new School will embrace the 'One Health - One Medicine' philosophy and will include the development of a unique research-led veterinary medicine degree programme with an emphasis on research, veterinary pathology and livestock medicine. Currently there are only seven Schools of Veterinary Medicine in the country, and the development of the eighth school will be the first of its kind in South East England. The unique setting for the development at the heart of the University of Surrey's Manor Park site in Guildford will encourage collaboration of students and staff from different disciplines, with those studying towards a veterinary medicine qualification being exposed to cutting edge technology in engineering and physics as well as receiving training in core business skills.
