Veterinary Pathology Service

Developed around clinical rotations of final-year veterinary students, in collaboration with the Poultry Health Service. Students experience two weeks of hands-on training in pathology, in which they are involved in receiving and discussing clinical case histories, developing technical skills in gross anatomic dissection and its interpretation, and in writing concise pathology reports and communicating findings to clinicians.

Biopsy and necropsy submissions to the University of Nottingham are overseen by University pathologists:

• Dr Kerstin Baiker Dr med vet, DiplECVP MRCVS
• Winsome Eu DVM, DACVP, MRCVS
• Dr Ana Ortiz DVM, PhD, MRCVS

Submitting clinicians receive complete diagnostic reports covering:

• cause of death
• gross and histopathology descriptions and diagnoses
• pathologist comments
• imaging as appropriate
