VN Uniform a ‘Fashion Classic’
The P785 tunic.
Some uniform styles come and go but Grahame Gardner’s P785 is displaying all the signs of enduring popularity associated with a classic style.  After being developed for the fashion focused Beauty Market, Grahame Gardner soon found interest for the tunic coming from the Veterinary Market – where it continues to be a hit!

The classic style boasts a mandarin style collar and side opening detail, with attractive pearl studs and a tri-button internal security feature.

Simon Ward, Sales Director comments on the ongoing success of this style: “We design new tunics throughout the year, but when the outlines for the P785 were put on the table we all recognised they were something special. The response from the Veterinary Market has been phenomenal and it has gone on to be one of our best sellers. What makes the P785 so popular is its broad appeal, it represents a more fashionable take on workwear, so is popular with all members of staff, yet it is also very smart and professional so the management also give it their seal of approval. Perhaps best of all, the cut and the length of the tunic mean that is a very flattering shape for all.”

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.
