RCVS to hold 'Question Time'
The Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons (RCVS) will be holding an 'RCVS Question Time' event at the Mercure Leeds Parkway Hotel on Thursday 8th March 2012. Veterinary Surgeons, Veterinary Nurses, Practice Managers and everyone with an interest in the issues of the profession are invited to either attend or send in questions to which they would like an answer.
The event will begin at 1pm with 45-minute 'surgeries' which are open to Practices accredited with or considering joining the Practice Standards Scheme (PSS). The evening will start with a buffet and drinks at 6.30pm, and the meeting itself will start at 7.15pm. No formal agenda will be set, as was the case with previous similar events in which topics of discussion included the new Draft Codes of Professional Conduct, the regulation of Veterinary Nurses and veterinary legislation. It is hoped that this structure (or lack thereof) will allow for greater flexibility and evolution in the ensuing debate.
The President of the RCVS Dr Jerry Davies will be attending, as will RCVS and VN Council members, and they will be able to explore pressing matters with those present. Those unable to attend in person are invited to send their questions in beforehand so that they can still be tackled at the meeting.
For further information or to book a place, please contact Fiona Harcourt (f.harcourt@rcvs.org.uk or 020 7202 0773). Questions those unable to attend in person would like asked should be emailed to the above address.
BVA has announced a new series of its Building Great Workplaces lunchtime webinars.
