After almost one year of consolidating experience in Meat Inspection and getting familiar with UK working practices, Davide’s employer approved for him to attend the Official Veterinarian (OV) Training Course at the University of Bristol to promote him to OV role. Davide then moved to the country, registered with the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons and started his new job as a VMHI on behalf of Food Standards Agency, the UK Government authority responsible for food safety and food hygiene. Whilst still being there, Davide received an offer letter to work as a Veterinary Meat Hygiene Inspector (VMHI) for a provider of out-sourced official veterinary controls and Meat Inspection in UK. Davide graduated in Veterinary Medicine at the University of Messina (Italy) in 2014 and, after his qualification to practice as a Veterinary Surgeon, he spent a period as a volunteer in a small animal veterinary practice.
