At the meeting on 30 May 2008, Academic Standards Committee received the responses to the recommendations arising from the Review of Veterinary Medicine held on 17 November 2006. There was some concern that responses indicated work in progress, rather than completed actions. In particular it was requested that a more robust response be sought in response to recommendation 1 in order to demonstrate proposals for change arising from the curricular review.

The Committee received a report providing further information on progress with recommendations arising from the review of Veterinary Medicine in 2006. Members were pleased to note the recent completion of the new Small Animal Hospital building. However, there was concern that progress with the curriculum review had been slow, and it was agreed that a further update on actions and priorities arising from this review should be provided to ASC in February 2010.

The Faculty’s updated response is attached.

ASC is asked to consider the adequacy of the responses and the progress made.
