Regional Question Time travels to Oxford

On Wednesday, 13 February, members of the RCVS Officer team and Veterinary Nurses Council will be answering your questions and discussing current veterinary issues in Oxford.

Veterinary surgeons, veterinary nurses and others who work in the profession are invited to attend RCVS Question Time, which will be held at The Oxford Hotel, Godstow Road, Oxford.

The evening will start with a buffet and chance to catch up with colleagues at 6:30pm, followed by the meeting itself from 7:15pm to 10pm.

Question Time is your chance to ask us about issues affecting veterinary surgeons and veterinary nurses, and counts towards your CPD requirements.

What’s on the agenda is up to the delegates – the evening will be shaped by your questions.

Possible topics for discussion include our First-Rate Regulator initiative, veterinary legislation, regulation of veterinary nurses and the Codes of Professional Conduct for veterinary surgeons and veterinary nurses.

There will be the chance to discuss issues in more depth through breakout groups.

Also in Oxford, we will be running a free Practice Standards Scheme (PSS) ‘surgery’, offering private appointments with a PSS Inspector if you’re thinking of joining the scheme, need help with an upcoming inspection or want to ensure you’re meeting the new Code of Professional Conduct requirement and practising to Core Standards.

Free 45-minute sessions will be held between 12 noon and 5pm on Wednesday, 13 February (please note the PSS Surgery is now full, and names will be put on a waiting list).

To book a place at either RCVS Question Time or the PSS Surgery, please contact Fiona Harcourt, Communications Officer on [email protected].
