AN extensive study of extramural studies (EMS) in the UK has recently been completed. The so‐called SILVER project (Supporting Independent Learning in Veterinary Extramural Rotations) was funded over three years by the RCVS, through the Charter Education Trust, and was carried out by the Liverpool Evaluation and Assessment Unit. This article outlines a number of important aspects which were identified in the study regarding the crucial role played by veterinary practitioners in providing EMS.
