ABSTRACT:
On 21 March 2013, a group of veterinary nurses and student nurses from Plumpton College set off for two weeks of conservation study and safari in South Africa. This article describes the team's adventures and experiences, and in so doing, puts into perspective some of the perceived ‘trials and tribulations’ of everyday veterinary practice in the UK.
