How can the RCVS better serve you?
Nick Stace
RCVS CEO appeals to the veterinary profession

Nick Stace, the new Chief Executive and Secretary of the RCVS, has asked all members of the veterinary profession to let him know in which ways the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons can better serve the profession.

In a letter published in the veterinary press this week, Nick Stace says he is "keen to instil a customer service ethos, for both the public and the profession, in terms of how we conduct ourselves," and invites vets to email him directly with ways in which they feel the RCVS can improve their service.

As well as encouraging feedback from the profession as a whole, Mr Stace also outlines his own plans to become more involved with both the College and the profession in order to comprehend fully the issues faced by vets and VNs.

This is a highly positive step for the College, and for Nick Stace to make such a firm statement - laying clear his intentions to help better serve the veterinary profession - so early on in his career at the RCVS bodes very well for the future.

All vets are encouraged to get in touch, with Mr Stace looking forward "to making real progress."

He can be contacted at nick@rcvs.org.uk.
