Supporting the future generations of the veterinary industry

XLVets actively supports the next generation of veterinary surgeons by attending careers fairs, partnering with student societies, and delivering engaging clinical club talks and hands-on practical sessions.

Graduate Development

We support new graduates through tailored development programmes in equine, farm, and small animal practice. Through mentoring, hands-on training, and a vibrant peer network, our community helps young vets thrive, clinically, professionally, and personally.

Our programmes are developed by members across the community to celebrate the science and art of being a first opinion practitioner, and to support future generations to thrive within their careers in independent practice.
