Q&A session for pig vets
BPEX workshop on changes to ZNCP

All pig vets are invited to log on to an informal online workshop led by BPEX on the changes to the Zoonoses National Control Plan (ZNCP). The workshop will take place on 23rd August 2012 from 3pm, and clients who vets believe will also be interested are welcome to join in.

The ZNCP is now centred on a the new risk assessment tool - to help all vets and pig producers develop a meaningful and effective salmonella control plan.

BPEX veterinary programme manager, Katrin Turvey, will lead a live demonstration of the risk assessment tool and a question and answer session, and vets are urged to bring along their queries.

The workshop will be available online to view and listen again, and more workshops for producers are likely to run in the future.

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.
