Legislative reform - a veterinary nursing perspective

With the deadline for Defra’s consultation on a new Veterinary Surgeons Act (VSA) drawing ever closer, we’ve been chatting to our veterinary nursing colleagues about what this change could mean for the veterinary professions from a veterinary nursing perspective.

The consultation presents a pivotal opportunity to transform the way the sector works for the better - successful reform could help protect professional titles, expand roles, and modernise our regulatory framework, including around licensing and practice standards, further enhancing animal health and welfare and public trust.

In our latest podcast episode ‘Legislative reform – a veterinary nursing perspective’ find out more about why this consultation is so important and why your voice matters from RCVS Chair of Veterinary Nurses Council, Belinda Andrews-Jones RVN, RCVS Head of Insights, Policy and Public Affairs, Ben Myring, and RCVS Director of Veterinary Nursing, Julie Dugmore RVN.

Julie will then be joined by RCVS Veterinary Nursing Progression and Development Lead, Jill Macdonald RVN, to explore the work of our VN Vision project, helping to shape the future of team-based veterinary healthcare.
