AGM, awards and presidential handover

Members of the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons (RCVS), as well as listed and registered veterinary nurses, are invited to attend the upcoming RCVS Day.

Held on Friday, July 5 at London's Royal College of Physicians, the day will include the RCVS Annual General Meeting (AGM) and an award presentation.

Furthermore, Dr Andy Stringer, director of programmes at the Society for the Protection of Animals Abroad (SPANA) will be guest speaking on improving the health and welfare of working animals worldwide.

The event will be the last official engagement for Jacqui Molyneux as RCVS President, who will be chairing the AGM, starting at 10am.

Once she has welcomed new members to both the RCVS Council and the Veterinary Nurses Council, she will hand over the post to the 2013/2014 president, Colonel Neil Smith.

RCVS Day is intended to recognise and celebrate the achievements of those within the veterinary profession, with honorary awards, fellowships and diplomas being presented.

Bluetongue RZ extended across Scotland

The Scottish Government has announced an extension to a Bluetongue Restricted Zone that is in place in south-west Scotland.

From 3 October, the Restricted Zone will be extended to cover the whole of Scotland. The Animal, Plant and Health Agency (APHA) says this is in response to further disease spread, as well as simplify trading conditions ahead of the autumn.

Since the whole country will share a disease status, it will no longer be necessary to have a movement license to move susceptible livestock around the country. Restrictions on germinal products remain.

As of 1 October 2026, there were 1,979 cases of BTV-3 in England, 389 cases in Wales and 40 cases in Scotland.
