🚨 Fully Funded MPhil Opportunity – Help Improve Veterinary Safety Are you passionate about veterinary research, occupational health, or clinical practice? We're recruiting for a fully funded 1-year MPhil at the University of Liverpool (Leahurst Campus), funded by the Veterinary Medicines Directorate (VMD).
💉 The challenge Needlestick injuries remain one of the most common yet under-reported occupational hazards in veterinary practice. Despite high awareness of sharps safety, unsafe behaviours persist, and fewer than 10% of injuries are formally reported. This project aims to generate the evidence needed to improve clinical safety across the profession.
