Thank you for your feedback
Excellent response for MRCVSonline topic suggestions

MRCVSonline would like to thank all of our members for the feedback they have been sending us over the past couple of weeks.

Andrew Millar, from Ardene House Veterinary Practice in Aberdeen, has been selected as the winner of the £50 John Lewis Vouchers.

At the beginning of August, we asked you to start sending over the topics that most interest you – the ones that you would like to see more of on MRCVSonline.

We've had an absolutely fantastic response, and your suggestions were more informative and widely-scoped than we could ever have hoped.

All of your suggested topics have been taken on board, so be sure to look out for more information from MRCVSonline in future about the topic you personally suggested.

And don't forget to keep the suggestions coming! We want our articles to be as relevant and informative as possible to those that matter – you, our readers.

We are always just an email away if you'd like to continue letting us know those topics that are most important to you.

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.
