All welcome at RCVS Day

RCVS Day – our AGM and Awards Presentation – will take place on Friday 2 July 2010. Following a successful day last year, we will again be holding the event at One Great George Street, Westminster, London.

All Members and listed/registered veterinary nurses are welcome to attend the day, which will begin with the AGM at 10am and Awards Presentations at 11am. Coffee will be available from 9:30am – 11am, and lunch will be served at 1pm in the Edwardian Great Hall.

As Sandy Trees’ last official engagement in his term of office as President of the RCVS, he will be welcoming Professor Roger Short, to give a talk entitled “The way ahead for the veterinary profession in a warming world”.

"There are exciting new roles for veterinary surgeons in the battle to save endangered species,” says Professor Short. “For example, in the case of the Asian elephant, the wild population has declined to 30,000, however as a result of the work of Dr Hildebrandt and his colleagues at the Institute for Zoo and Wildlife Research in Berlin, elephants have now produced calves in zoos all around the world. Such vets are an example to us all."
