AHVLA is looking to determine if there is a demand for training among vets.
Survey launches to assess the need to improve gross pathology skills

A survey has been launched to find out if there is significant demand among vets for diagnostic investigation and gross pathology skills training.

AHVLA says it is looking to enhance the gross pathology skills of private veterinary surgeons, including the undertaking of first opinion post-mortem examinations and targeted sampling.

According to the agency, the proposed training is likely to qualify as CPD.

The survey launch was agreed at a recent meeting with representatives from university veterinary schools, the Royal College of Pathologists, SRUC and other stakeholders.

Launched yesterday, the survey has been created in consultation with the universities of Bristol, Cambridge, Liverpool and Surrey, SRUC, Royal Veterinary College and the Royal College of Pathologists.

Aimed at vets, the anonymous survey consists of 11 questions and will run to May 23, 2014.

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.
