Please note: this webinar is now full, although we hope to publish a recording very soon so you can listen/watch again.

This interactive webinar will introduce our consultation on governance reform, and aim to answer any questions you may have.

We are calling for new legislation to replace the Veterinary Surgeons Act 1966 (VSA) to enable us to be a modern, flexible, forward-looking regulator of the entire vet-led team. As part of this work, we have made a number of recommendations about the way the RCVS could be governed in the future.

From 10 June to 22 July 2024, we’ll be running a consultation on our recommendations, and seeking feedback from across the veterinary professions and the animal-owning public.

Open to all veterinary surgeons, veterinary nurses, vet and VN students, and members of the wider vet-led team.

The webinar will be delivered by:

Dr Sue Paterson FRCVS, President

Lizzie Lockett, CEO

Eleanor Ferguson, Registrar

Ben Myring, Policy & Public Affairs Manager

The aim of this session is to:

Explain how we compare to other regulators and Royal Colleges,
Describe the modern regulatory landscape and the need for governance reform,
Outline the preliminary recommendations that we are consulting on, and
Detail how to take part in the consultation
