Support Groups

“Big Vet Wee Vet” is a student run mentorship program that pairs you with a like-minded “big” who was in your shoes just a few years ago. They have successfully navigated the potential pitfalls of adjusting to a difficult program and a new city and are there to help you do the same!

GASPS is a group that provides help and support, particularly to first years, with the academic demandsof vet school. We come in at various key points during the year to give short talks which look to pass onadvice and tips from upper year students about exams, assignments, and vet school in general. We runtea and cake sessions in pre-covid years, where we invite a handful of older students to come and havean informal chat with first years to allow space for you to ask any questions you may have. We hope tohave these talks again once restrictions are down.

Peer Support is a group of trained students within the vet school,dedicated to promoting good mental health and wellbeing amongst all students.
