"It was a privilege and pleasure to share this special occasion with the students" - Dr Kate Richards, RCVS president.

The University of Surrey's School of Veterinary Medicine held an admissions ceremony for its 2021 graduates with the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons (RCVS).

Over 50 graduates were welcomed back to the university for the ceremony, which was led by RCVS president Dr Kate Richards, and were formally admitted to the RCVS Register of Veterinary Surgeons. 

Kate Richards said: “Celebrating the success of Surrey Vet School graduates was especially rewarding given the challenges they faced during their studies. It was a privilege and pleasure to share this special occasion with the students and mark such an important milestone.”

In the ceremony, the graduates were led through the RCVS professional declaration, and were then formally welcomed to the profession by Kate Richards, who highlighted the resilience of the class of 2021, and the diverse career opportunities open to the graduates.

Head of the Surrey's School of Veterinary Medicine, Professor Chris Proudman, commented on the celebration: “The event was a lovely opportunity to celebrate the achievements of our 2021 graduates and to wish them well on their entry into the veterinary profession.

UK's BSE risk status downgraded

The WOAH has downgraded the UK's international risk status for BSE to 'negligible'.

Defra says that the UK's improved risk status recognises the reputation for having the highest standards for biosecurity. It adds that it demonstrates decades of rigorous animal control.

Outbreaks of Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy, also known as mad cow disease, have previously resulted in bans on Britain's beef exports.

The UK's new status could lead to expanded trade and better confidence in British beef.

Christine Middlemiss, the UK's chief veterinary officer, said: "WOAH's recognition of the UK as negligible risk for BSE is a significant milestone and is a testament to the UK's strong biosecurity measures and the hard work and vigilance of farmers and livestock keepers across the country who have all played their part in managing the spread of this disease.
