CEO gives video summary of discussions
Nick Stace, CEO of the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons (RCVS), has summarised the discussions and decisions made at recent council meetings.
In his first ever post-RCVS council video, Mr Stace compresses an overview of several hours of meetings into just a few minutes.
The video was made to follow four key meetings, which have all taken place since the beginning of June.
He covers the RCVS Charitable Trust Board meeting, a council meeting to discuss the First-Rate Regulator project, the regular June council meeting and an additional meeting to discuss the Practice Standards Scheme (PSS) evolution.
In his video, Mr Stace explains the following:
- Council has agreed to freeze veterinary surgeon and veterinary nurse retention fees for 2014
- The trust has decided to more towards the new name "RCVS Knowledge"
- First-Rate Regulator research
- Positive feedback for the development of the PSS
"I appreciate not everyone has time to wade through all of the papers and minutes that are available online, so, in the interests of transparency and openness, I hope this potted version will give you a snapshot of what's been going on at Belgravia House," he commented.
"Let me know what you think and, if the feedback is positive, we will do more."

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.
