New trading website to launch
Website exclusive to veterinary sector

A new website will shortly launch to facilitate trading for the veterinary sector. The website, www.vbay.co.uk, will allow veterinary professionals and practice managers to research products in a single location, contact sellers, make purchases online and trade second hands items in an exclusively veterinary business environment.

Commenting, website co-founder Caroline Johnson said “It is not often that a completely novel service is brought to the veterinary market, so we are delighted to fill the gap in this market with vbay.co.uk, allowing veterinary buyers and sellers to conduct their business in the same way that they would if they were doing their own personal shopping; vbay.co.uk offers convenience and choice, including both classified advertising and auctions. The categories on the site will be expanded with time, so if any veterinary business needs a particular category on there and they cannot see it, we are asking people to get in touch and we’ll change things”.

The website is due to launch later in March 2012. An early-bird offer of free advertising for one month is available to suppliers during the pre-launch period, and more details can be found on the website.

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.
