RCVS extends registration policy for European vet schools
The temporary policy was established in June 2019.
The decision will be reviewed again in a year.

The Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons (RCVS) Council has voted to extend the College's temporary registration arrangements with European veterinary schools for a further year.

At an RCVS Council meeting on Thursday 20 January, Council members voted to extend the policy, which allows veterinary graduates from school accredited or approved by the European Association of Establishments of Veterinary Education (EAEVE) to join the RCVS Register without taking the Statutory Membership Examination. 

The decision will be reviewed again at the Council's January 2023 meeting.
