EMS Placements
A really important part of our work is helping to inspire and train future vets and nurses to join the profession.
We regularly take vet students as part of their training to help expand their knowledge and practical skills. We try to tailor each student’s experience to help focus on areas they feel they want to develop which can range from taking blood samples and placing intravenous catheters to doing consultations and communication skills.
We love our work and really enjoy inspiring others to love it too. Graduating as a vet can be very daunting so gaining as much experience as possible is a must during student years. We have several students who continue to return every year and we feel that this shows our commitment to teaching and helping prepare students for when they enter the real vet world.
One of our most recent placements, Grace, said "‘Westport has been great at giving me opportunities to learn in a non-judgmental environment with lots of encouraging voices!’"
