We were honoured to have Dr. David Cook, Dr. Abbie Tipler, Dr. Victoria Hudson, Dr. Jason Wang, and Dr. Connor from the Veterinary Service visit Gatton before the exam to teach our students essential suturing and surgical skills. We are deeply grateful for their tremendous support—from planning to leading the workshops—which made the event such a success.⁣
We’ve received fantastic feedback from many of you who participated. Thank you for your enthusiasm and active engagement. We hope you enjoyed the experience and gained valuable skills, and we look forward to seeing you again at future workshops!⁣
