SPVS launches 2026 Salary Survey
SPVS says it is important to offer competitive and attractive remuneration packages.
The survey acts as a benchmark for the veterinary profession.

The Society of Practising Veterinary Surgeons (SPVS) hopes to provide an ‘essential benchmark’ for the veterinary profession with this year’s Salary Survey Questionnaire.

Its annual survey has been created to build a detailed picture of remuneration in the veterinary sector. It will capture data on basic salaries, bonuses, dividends and overtime, as well as benefit such as accommodation, company vehicles, car allowances and pension contributions.

The survey hopes to represent professionals working in both clinical and non-clinical roles, with the organisation highlighting the importance of competitive and attractive remuneration packages amid economic pressures and continued challenges.

SPVS has invited responses from people across the veterinary sector. This includes veterinary surgeons, veterinary nurses, practice managers, support staff and those in non-clinical roles.

All responses will be treated with strict anonymity and complete confidentiality.

The key to the survey’s results will be its breadth of data, and so participants are encouraged to share the questionnaire far and wide. As an additional incentive, participants will also have the opportunity to enter an exclusive prize draw to win a portable speaker.

Findings from the survey will be published within a summary report, made freely available to participants who provide their email address at the end of the survey. SPVS members will have access to a full report, which includes detailed analysis and expert commentary.

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.'
