“It is great to see the Fellowship once again welcoming such a broad and diverse range of veterinary talent and excellence to its ranks" - Dr Niall Connell, chair of the RCVS Fellowship Board.

The Fellowship aims to advance veterinary standards.

Clinicians, academics and researchers are among 51 new veterinary surgeons who have been welcomed to the RCVS Fellowship.

The aim of the RCVS Fellowship is to advance veterinary standards by providing a resource of independent knowledge for the benefit of the veterinary profession.

Of the 51 new RCVS Fellows, 31 were welcomed to the Fellowship for meritorious contributions to clinical practice, 18 for meritorious contributions to the profession, and two for meritorious contributions to veterinary knowledge.
A full list of the new Fellows is available here

Dr Niall Connell FRCVS, chair of the RCVS Fellowship Board, said: “It is great to see the Fellowship once again welcoming such a broad and diverse range of veterinary talent and excellence to its ranks.

“Amongst those being welcomed this year we have veterinary surgeons who are best known as clinicians or academics or researchers or campaigners or business leaders or public servants. However, what unites them all is a dedication to the advancement of the veterinary profession and the contribution that it can make to animal health and welfare, public health and society as a whole.

“I am really looking forward to meeting all of our new Fellows later this year, and finding out more about their work at what promises to be another great opportunity to celebrate the RCVS Fellowship.”

The Fellows will be formally welcomed at this year’s Fellowship Day, which takes place on Thursday, 27 November 2025, at One Great George Street, Westminster.

BVA urges 'continued vigilance' over bluetongue

The British Veterinary Association (BVA) has urged vigilance following a concerning rise in Bluetongue (BTV) cases in sheep and cattle.

In a recent statement, the BVA noted that members are reporting more severe clinical signs and higher mortality rates than in previous years.

'We know that farm vets are working hard to support farmers and animals affected by this outbreak, during what is an extremely difficult time for all involved,' they stated. 'Continued vigilance to identify disease early is vital and vaccination remains the best way of protecting animals from this disease.'
