The RCVS is holding a session at the London Vet Show on Saturday 23rd October from 8:30am-9:30am to provide guidance and advice concerning the work the nursing team does in practice.

As the RCVS says, the recent Panorama programme "It shouldn't happen at a vets'" was a stark reminder of the importance of ensuring that all practice staff are working within the appropriate legal framework.

The session will answer such questions as:

  • Are your veterinary nursing staff working legally?
  • Do their job titles mislead the public?
  • Is your veterinary team delegating appropriately?
  • Do you understand Schedule 3?
  • Are your VN 'students' really students?

Because of the early start, the RCVS is providing breakfast from 8:15am.

The RCVS says the session will be relevant for all members of the practice team, but that if you can't make the session, they will be on hand to discuss VN legislation on stand M26.
