Very important and relevant key message from@rosieallister ! “We need to provide alternative scripts for what it is to be a vet” #mmiresearch19
Fantastic - @RosieAllister now moves us at #mmiresearch19 to Professional Identity - this is where we all need to be - she emphasises the need for "alternative cultural scripts" about the veterinary role ie those that closer match reality. @theRCVS @ukvetschools
