• While demand for brachycephalic dogs remains high, understanding whether the body shape of brachycephalic breeds can be refined to reduce the risk of conformation-related disease is of priority. RVC research in this area worked to identify conformational risk factors for common disorders, and define ‘healthy conformational limits’, thresholds beyond which the risk of disease becomes unacceptably high.

• Science without borders - Jordan University of Science and Technology delegation visits RVC

  

  A delegation of academics and scientist from the Jordan University of Science and Technology (JUST) visited the Royal Veterinary College in London and also toured their RVC's Hawkshead Campus as part of an ongoing Educational Twinning Project between the two universities with the aim of strengthening their exchange programmes and broadening opportunities for students in both the UK and Jordan. The project, twinning veterinary education between the RVC and JUST, is sponsored by the World Organisation for Animal Health (OIE) and aims to develop the teaching expertise of faculty from both institutions through mutual visits, official communication, research projects and integration with joint specialist workshops in different areas of veterinary medicine and includes the participation of the Ministry of Agriculture for Jordan and experts from the Arab world.
