The theme for the pre-conference workshops on Wednesday 5th July 2017 is "Experiential Learning".
If you're coming to VetEd, why not add the pre-conference day to your package and make a real event of it?
Abstracts selected for the pre-conference day will be on the theme of Experiential Learning, so you can expect workshops on topics like peer learning, work experience placements, clinical application and similar.
The pre-conference day offers plenty of opportunity to network ahead of the main conference, and in the evening you have the chance to experience a real Liverpudlian treat - a Beatles Themed Magical Mystery Bus Tour!
