The publication of the letter follows a meeting held today (Friday 9 January) between 趣夜app鈥檚 President Dr. Rob Williams MRCVS and representatives from the University of Cambridge鈥檚 School of the Biological Sciences, where he听pressed the school to reverse its recommendation to Cambridge University鈥檚 General Board to end its听undergraduate听degree course in veterinary medicine.听听

In the letter, Dr. Williams expressed the strong opposition from across the veterinary profession to the closure of the vet school, citing the vital role it plays in ensuring the UK has听a resilient veterinary workforce - critical to the UK economy, animal health and welfare, and protecting the UK against public health risks such as future pandemics.听

Its closure听represents听a 鈥榩rofound gamble with public health and scientific excellence鈥�,听with Cambridge trained vets and veterinary scientists听specialising in epidemiology, disease surveillance, and interspecies transmission, on the front line of the nation's capacity to predict, prepare for, and respond to future global pandemics.听听

The closure of the school would also result in the loss of a critical tertiary care听centre听for referrals, essential for client choice and provision of high-level care in the area, in particular for farm animals. On a wider level, closing one of the nation's most prestigious training institutions would have a significant negative impact on the pipeline and future sustainability of the veterinary workforce, limiting the supply of highly trained professionals needed to ensure food safety and security, animal welfare, and a healthy agricultural sector.听

趣夜app鈥疨resident Dr.鈥疪ob Williams MRCVS鈥痵aid:鈥�鈥淭he potential closure of one of the UK鈥檚 most prestigious vet schools is extremely worrying. The loss of Cambridge would undoubtedly affect current and future veterinary students, but the shockwaves will be felt far听more widely, with serious implications听for听food safety, animal and human health and welfare; scientific research and progress; and听additional听pressure on the veterinary workforce providing medical care to pets,听livestock听and other animals. Together, the veterinary profession urges the University's governing bodies to reject this recommendation,听recognise听the irreplaceable public good the school provides, and commit to finding a robust, sustainable funding model that preserves Cambridge's vital role at the forefront of global health and scientific leadership. The Vet School is an indispensable national resource that must be preserved and fully supported.鈥�听
