RCVS renewal fees increase by four per cent
The fee must be paid before 1 April to avoid a higher fee or removal from the register.
The Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons (RCVS) has announced a four per cent increase to its annual renewal fees.
RCVS treasurer Tshidi Gardiner said that the council had tried to keep the fees to a minimum, while increasing the fees in line with inflation. It is a two per cent lower increase than in 2024.
Fee notices will be sent to veterinary surgeons within the first two weeks of March, who will have until 1 April to pay for their annual renewal.
Veterinary surgeons who do not pay their fee before 1 May will incur a higher fee of £36. Non-payment by 1 June could mean they are removed from the RCVS register.
The veterinary nurse annual renewal period, taking place in autumn, will see the same percentage increase.
Members who are concerned about paying their fees can contact RCVS’ Finance Team on finance@rcvs.org.uk or by calling 020 7202 0722.
