As one of RVC’s largest societies and the reigning SU Society of The Year 2020-21, we’re here to offer RVCs students an experience in the exotics field to supplement their interests and show off the wild side of the veterinary world.
Throughout the year, we will be hosting events and fundraisers for this year's chosen charity: Prickles & Paws Hedgehog Rescue!. Please check out their website if you're interested in learning more!
Among some of our most loved events include: falconry live practical, post-mortem practicals with University of Cambridge, shooting/darting practicals, exotic clinical rounds through BVZS and Beaumont Animal Hospital, trips to the zoo, and our fundraisers for the Australian Bushfires in 2020 – where we all rallied together and raised £800 for WWF!
And what’s more – we’ve got loads of free online learning opportunities and we organise talks on everything from raptor rehabilitation to tropical fish medicine with experts in their fields. Make sure to check out our Facebook & Instagram pages for 'upcoming events' to keep up to date with what we're planning monthly.
What we're working on *hopefully* adding and continuing this year:
If you’d like to join and are interested in wildlife, exotics, and learning – you can always find us online: @rvczoologicalsociety on Instagram and RVC Zoological Society on Facebook. Or, of course, drop us an email at zoosoc@rvc.ac.uk (we promise, we’re friendly)!
