As a Veterinary Officer, do you get to work abroad, and if so, how likely is that?

Tori C.

Regimental Medical Officer

Hello,

There is some information on veterinary officers here https://apply.army.mod.uk/roles/army-medical-service/veterinary-officer

Veterinary officers do deploy abroad. How likely this is will depend on what jobs you are posted in to. You will be able to get more information on roles available to you by starting your application and then speaking to a representative from the RAVC.

You will always have plenty of opportunity to travel with AT and Sport, even if your current role is UK based.
