Welcome to the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeon’s microsite.

These pages are designed to be useful to MPs and peers and anyone interested in the education and regulation of veterinary surgeons and veterinary nurses in the UK.

We are the statutory regulator for veterinary surgeons in the United Kingdom and ensure that standards of professional conduct are maintained within the profession, safeguarding the health and welfare of animals and the interests of the public.

We also maintain a statutory Register of veterinary surgeons and a List of veterinary nurses and, through our Royal Charter powers, maintain standards of veterinary and veterinary nurse education.

If you have received a constituency enquiry regarding a veterinary surgeon, nurse or practice, you may find our new MP toolkit useful.

If you need further information, or are interested in the work of the RCVS, please contact Lizzie Lockett, Head of Communications (l.lockett@rcvs.org.uk, 020 7202 0725) or Ian Holloway, Senior Communications Officer (i.holloway@rcvs.org.uk, 020 7202 0727).

You may also find RCVSonline a useful source of additional information.
