New Graduate Academy for vets grows in size


Independent Vetcare has announced that IMS Euro Ltd has renewed its commitment to supporting the New Graduate Academy, sponsoring the jackets supplied to all new starters on the popular programme.

The number of new vets fast-tracking their careers through the IVC New Graduate Academy has risen significantly since it was first launched in 2014, with 59 talented vets starting the 2-year programme this academic year, making the total number of vets currently progressing through the nationwide skills development programme 93.

Nick Shamot, Business Development Director at IMS Euro Ltd, explains his company's commitment to the partnership: "A key aspect of any successful business is its people, and so we're delighted to be able to reflect this through our renewed sponsorship of the IVC New Graduate Academy."

The year one graduates were delighted to be presented with the Regatta jackets at their second two day CPD event since starting in September, which was titled Preventative Health & Coping in Practice and held last week.

Speakers and topics were reflective of the broad range of training the IVC New Graduate Academy provides during the programmes CPD events and included John Helps BVetMed CertSAM MRCVS, Senior Technical Manager at MSD discussing all things vaccines and Veterinary Coach and Mentor Carolyne Crow BVetMed (Hons) BSc, Dip Coaching, MRCVS, among others.

Darren Mackintosh, Operations Manager at IVC, adds: "We're so pleased that IMS International have chosen to continue their valued support of the New Graduate Academy's innovative and comprehensive career development programme.

"As IVC continue to invest in the future of the veterinary profession by building rewarding and sustainable careers for newly qualified vets, working alongside other progressive companies such as IMS International brings us closer to achieving our objective to be the veterinary employer of choice."
