Companion Care Vets
Visit Companion Care on stand 300

Companion Care vets have been in the press a fair bit recently after they were voted one of the best 100 companies to work for in the Sunday Times, the first veterinary company to have that honour.

Exhibiting at stand 300 at BSAVA World Congress, Companion Care is running a competition for one lucky delegate to win an iPad.

They are hoping to talk to as many vets and veterinary nurses as possible during their time at Congress as their 92 practices hold plenty of opportunities, and they are clearly a highly respected company. In the last year alone, they have gained 31 new practices.

For a chance to win the iPad and talk to Companion Care, visit stand 300 in the NIA.

Practices urged to audit neutering data

News Story 1
 RCVS Knowledge has called on vet practices to audit their post-operative neutering outcomes.

It follows the release of the 2024 NASAN benchmarking report, which collates data from neutering procedures performed on dogs, cats and rabbits.

The benchmarking report enables practices in the UK and Ireland to compare their post-operative outcomes to the national average. This includes the rate of patients lost to follow-up, which in 2024 increased to 23 per cent.

Anyone from the practice can submit the data using a free template. The deadline for next report is February 2026.

Visit the RCVS Knowledge website to complete an audit.

RCVS pays tribute to well-loved equine vet

The RCVS and the Riding Establishments Subcommittee has paid tribute to well-loved veterinary surgeon and riding establishment inspector, Rebecca Hamilton-Fletcher MRCVS.

Linda Belton MRCVS, RCVS President, said: "I, along with my colleagues on the RESC, RCVS Council, RCVS Standards Committee, as well as RCVS staff, was very saddened to hear of the sudden death of Rebecca, or Becca as we knew her, last week.

"She was a true advocate for equine welfare and in her many years on the RESC worked to continually improve the quality and consistency of riding establishment inspections, all in the interests of enhanced horse welfare and rider safety."
