There will be a gradual and supported introduction into clinical work. All initial shifts will be shadowing another Vet and then shifts will include a named vet to support you. Your initial on call will have you as back up to an experienced Vet for you to learn and then when you are comfortable then you will move on to have a Vet as back up to you.
