RCVS seeks feedback from the veterinary profession
Vets, nurses and practice managers urged to complete online survey

The Royal College of Veterinary Surgeon's (RCVS) is asking those working in the veterinary industry to give their feedback on how the college regulates the profession.

Vet surgeons, vet nurses, practice managers, vet students and nurse students have been asked to contribute their views, explaining how they feel the college safeguards the health and welfare of animals through the regulation of vets and vet nurses, and where they feel the college could improve.

Feedback is to be given via an online survey (see link below), as part of the college's initiative to help it regulate more effectively.

This is an important opportunity to voice your honest opinion and help the college improve.

Click here to complete the ten minute survey. RCVS says that responses will be completely confidential and must be given by January 4, 2013.

Separate surveys are being carried out with members of the public. Contact RCVS Chief Executive Nick Stace, via email, for more information.
