New veterinary resource launches
Latest journal benefits the whole practice team

The launch of a new journal - Veterinary Practice Today - this Autumn will provide a resource for the whole practice team, including vets, vet nurses and practice managers.

Veterinary Practice Today will be brought to the profession each quarter by Vision Media, publishers of management journal Veterinary Management for Today (VMFT) for the past decade, as well as MRCVSonline and vnonline.

After 10 years of publishing VMFT, Vision Media are pleased to be relaunching and expanding the publication to benefit the whole practice team.

Comprising 60 pages, Veterinary Practice Today will continue to provide valuable, high quality articles for veterinary practice managers, but also includes clinical and veterinary nursing sections.

The two new sections will provide clinical "how to" guides and topical articles covering issues relevant to veterinary surgeons and nurses in practice.

After launching in Autumn this year, an initial 7,500 distribution will target UK practice managers, veterinary surgeons and nurses, with the aim of providing an insightful, relevant and valuable publication for the whole team.

Soon, veterinary surgeons, veterinary nurses and practice managers will be able to register for their free copy through MRCVSonline and vnonline.

Any writers interested in contributing can contact Vision Media with their ideas.

RCVS annual renewal fee for vets due

RCVS' annual renewal fee for veterinary surgeons is now due. Vets must pay their renewal fee before Wednesday, 1 April 2026.

This year's standard annual fee has increased to 431 from last year's 418. This is an approximately three per cent increase, as approved by RCVS Council and the Privy Council.

Tshidi Gardner, RCVS treasurer, said: "The small fee increase will be used to help deliver both our everyday activities and our new ambitious Strategic Plan, which includes aims such as achieving new legislation, reviewing the Codes of Professional Conduct and supporting guidance, and continuing to support the professions through activities such as the Mind Matters Initiative, RCVS Academy and career development."

A full breakdown of the new fees is on the RCVS website. Information about tax relief is available on the UK government website.
