Bristol SU recognises that the costs of participating in student groups can be prohibitively expensive for some students. The Activity Hardship Fund was created to support those students who wouldn't otherwise be able to participate in their chosen activity due to the cost.

About Us

SVECCS is a student-led society dedicated to helping students develop interest, knowledge and skills in emergency and critical care. We offer hands-on practical sessions, engaging talks from experienced professionals, and networking opportunities to enhance your clinical knowledge. Whether you're interested in emergency response, critical care techniques, or expanding your horizons in veterinary medicine, our group provides a supportive and educational environment. All students, vet and non-vets, are welcome!
