Research Work at the RVC

The RVC does carry out very carefully vetted research work on a variety of animal species.  Each piece of work is approved via Home Office licences and considered and managed by our Animal Welfare and Ethics Review Board.  All work is done in order to improve medical outcomes for both other animals and human beings.   We do alert all prospective staff to this fact so that they may consider working at the RVC  in the context of this knowledge. You can also find further information on our website.
