RCVS Regional Question Time, Guildford

The RCVS team will be visiting Guildford on Thursday 19 March, for RCVS Regional Question Time. The meeting is free to attend, and could count for up to three hours’ continuing professional development.

Regional Question Times provide an opportunity for veterinary surgeons, veterinary nurses and other members of the practice team to directly question senior figures at the RCVS on a range of subjects.

In response to feedback from previous events, we will be trialling separate vet and veterinary nurse sessions for the first half of the meeting, to allow delegates to have the opportunity to chat about issues relevant to them. The groups will then come together for the second half of the meeting, to discuss topics that affect the whole team.

Possible topics for discussion include:

• 24/7 emergency cover
• Alternative dispute resolution
• Vet Futures
• Mind Matters Initiative
• Our new Charter
• The regulation of veterinary nurses following the new Charter
• Practice Standards Scheme review

The evening will begin with a buffet supper at 6:30pm with the discussion, chaired by RCVS President Professor Stuart Reid, beginning at 7:15pm and finishing at approximately 10pm.

Please feel free to bring along any colleagues, veterinary surgeons, veterinary nurses or practice managers who might find the evening of interest - just remember to register their details on the following pages.
