BVA Appoints Chairman of New Veterinary Development Council
Richard Bennett, chairman of the new VDC
The veterinary profession is taking the lead on shaping the future of large animal veterinary practice with the appointment of Professor Richard Bennett as the independent chairman of the newly-established Veterinary Development Council.

The concept of the Veterinary Development Council (VDC) was recommended in Professor Philip Lowe’s report ‘Unlocking Potential: A report on veterinary expertise in food animal production’, which was published in August 2009.
 
Commenting on his appointment, Professor Bennett said: “The initial aim of the Veterinary Development Council is to explore and define the ‘market’ for farm animal veterinary services in the UK, considering both supply and demand. Ultimately I want the VDC to identify ways in which the veterinary profession might need to develop to ensure it remains thriving and provides the necessary expertise, goods and services that its clients, and society more generally, needs.”
