After the success of our first-ever Recent Graduate Event in 2024, we’re excited to announce its return for 2026, and tickets are now available!

Taking place on Friday 6 March 2026 at the beautiful Birmingham Botanical Gardens, the VDS Recent Graduate Event is a full-day CPD experience designed to support vets in their first five years of practice.

The day offers a safe, welcoming space to reflect, build confidence and connect with others who understand the challenges and milestones of the early years in practice.

• VetSafe insights on how a curious approach to incidents can lead to meaningful growth
• Open Q&A with VDS, VetSafe, VDS Training and BVA

• Time to reflect, relax, and end the day with a drink in the gardens

Tickets are £50 + VAT, which includes:

• 7.5 hours of CPD
