The conference is open to VN educators involved in the development, delivery and assessment of student veterinary nurses. 

Delegates will explore the changing landscape of veterinary healthcare.

The RCVS has revealed details of its 2026 VN Educators’ Conference, set to take place on 17 June at its headquarters in London.

Following a successful inaugural event last summer, this year will bring together veterinary nurse educators to consider how developments across the profession could shape the veterinary nurses of tomorrow.

Under the theme ‘The future RVN: people, practice and technology’, delegates will explore the changing landscape of veterinary healthcare and reflect on how this could impact the development of confident and capable veterinary nurses.

Key sessions include: Team-Based Healthcare and Contextualised Care, Legislation and Regulation and Technology-Enabled Practice.

Delegates can also attend one of two workshops: one focused on rethinking practical assessment, the other on developing the scope of practice for future veterinary nurses.

Shirley Gibbins, RCVS Veterinary Nursing Qualifications Lead, said: “We had such fantastic feedback from our first VN Educators’ Conference, so we are really pleased to be running it again this year.

“The day itself is highly interactive and serves as a perfect opportunity for VN educators to come together, explore emerging trends, share perspectives and reflect on how education and training can respond to a changing professional landscape.

“Whether you’re involved in curriculum delivery, assessment, quality assurance or programme leadership, we would love for you to join us.”

The conference is open to all VN educators involved in the development, delivery and assessment of student veterinary nurses. For more information, visit the RCVS VN Educators’ Conference Eventbrite page.
