Many students find seeing practice an anxious and uncertain time: in unfamiliar environments, with new people, desperate to be useful and to develop practical skills, yet not wanting to appear pushy or ‘in the way’! Seeing practice with a Christian vet can ease some of these worries and help more vets be a practical and spiritual blessing to many students.
The EMS Database
The VCF produces an EMS database comprising practices that have at least one VCF member who voluntarily accepts students for EMS placements at their workplace. This database is regularly updated, securely maintained, and made available to VCF student members upon request (though we cannot guarantee that its circulation will be limited). Please email secretary@vcf.org.uk for more information.
Accommodation Database
Finding accommodation for EMS placements can be challenging and place a large financial burden on tight student pursestrings. VCF has created a list of volunteers who are happy to host students. These may be vets in practice, other VCF members or family members who wish to help students who are “seeing practice” in their local area.
Paul Manning Memorial EMS Fund
The VCF Paul Manning Memorial EMS fund is aimed at assisting all members of VCF to develop their practical skills, support EMS and to gain experience in the workplace.
