Its layout and format, as well as the useful index, make? it quick and easy?to find the information reuired, so it can be used by a young veterinary surgeon throughtout a busy dayat the practice....It is clearly targeted at new graduates and is based around the RCVS DAy 1 competences, so would complement the professional development phase.
