Veterinary and Training Advice

Information on the services offered by the NVS and NTCO team.

As a Personal Licence Holder at The University of Edinburgh, there will be many different processes to follow throughout your research using animals. 

The Named Veterinary Surgeons (NVS) and the Named Training and Competency Officer (NTCO) are there to guide and support you with various aspects of your animal research and can be contacted at any time for help and advice via the ERF email account or by phone

The NVS team can also be contact via the on-call rota during the working day and out-of-hours
