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.

The venture, called Vets Talking Pets, provides advice and information on a range of topics, including how to select a suitable pet, where to obtain them and how to get the best out of your vet. Maggie and Vanessa will also discuss sensitive subjects, including end-of-life care, raw food diets and the cost of veterinary care.
