As part of Harper & Keele Veterinary School’s (HKVS) curriculum, students undertake an Animal Health Sciences module as part of their studies. Within this module students are taught about viral diseases, genetics, antimicrobial sensitivity testing, microbial diagnostics, infection and immunity, parasites amongst other topics for both small and large animal. As such, one of the assessments for this module is for students to create an academic poster about the role of the vets around one of these topics. Students then have to present these posters on a scheduled poster day event where they are marked based on their research of the topic and presentation of the poster itself as well as their communication about their poster.

The HKVS poster assignment has great relevance to RUMA’s objectives and we are therefore delighted to continue to be able to showcase a selection of these posters and we thank the students and HKVS for agreeing to share this great work. View the profiles from this year and previous years below.
