Brief description of the paper 

At its meeting on 15 April 2014, ASC received the 12-month update report from the review of the School of Veterinary Medicine which detailed the responses and the progress made to date in implementing the recommendations. It was noted that the PSR Convener considered that the Panel's recommendations had been, as far as possible, given full and appropriate consideration. It was agreed that reports on further progress should be requested in relation to the following recommendations:

Recommendation 4: The BSc Veterinary Biosciences programme board had asked course leaders to revise their ILOs for the start of 2014-2015. An update on this should be provided to ASC in October.

Recommendation 10: While a new bus services has been introduced between Garscube and Gilmorehill there are two current surveys (the University travel survey and a more detailed Garscube survey) where results were not yet available. A follow-up report should be provided once the survey results have been considered.

Recommendation 11: ASC requested a follow-up report in October to appraise the progress made in terms of preparing the strategic plan for the small Animal Hospital.
