At the vets that i work at i wear a uniform, so do the nurses and the receptionists but the vets just wear smart/casual clothses - black trousers, shoes, shirt tie etc and the work experience student are expected to wear the same as vets but are suplied with a lab coat or scrub top! the vets wear a consulting top. But in theatre the vets wear full scrubs with mask and shoe covers and hats, the nurses just wear uniform with hat, shoe cover and mask so do the work experience students. it has changed so much to when i first started when nurses would drink tea in theatre! another branch of our practice have to wear full scrubs by everyone in theatre! the shoe covers are so annoying when you forget to take something into theatre!x
