Gordon Hockey to leave the RCVS
Gordon Hockey has worked for the RCVS for 16 years.
The RCVS has revealed that its registrar of 16 years, Gordon Hockey, has decided to leave the organisation.
Mr Hockey initially served as assistant registrar/head of professional conduct until 2012, when he became registrar/director of legal services.
Commenting on his departure, RCVS president Dr Bradley Viner, said: "We wish to thank Gordon for all his hard work and wish him every success in the future.
"He has been a key figure at the RCVS for many years, and has brought about much positive change in the organisation, particularly with respect to reform of our disciplinary processes and the introduction of our new Charter, in February 2015."
Two independent vets have launched a podcast to help owners strengthen their bond with pets. Dr Maggie Roberts and Dr Vanessa Howie, who have worked in both veterinary practice and major charities, are keen to use their experience to enable people to give pets a better life.
