The RCVS is inviting veterinary nurses to throw their hats into the ring for the 2024 VN Council elections. 

Vet nurses who want to stand as election candidates must submit their nomination forms by 5pm on Wednesday 31st January 2024.

There are places for two elected candidates on VN Council.

This year, the RCVS has put together downloadable information packs for prospective candidates.

The pack explains the role of an RCVS VN Council member and the candidate nomination process, and contains the candidate nomination and candidate information forms.

The RCVS Council pack is available to download from rcvs.org.uk/council24.

Eleanor Ferguson, RCVS Registrar and Returning Officer for the elections, said: “RCVS-registered veterinary nurses of all backgrounds, at all career stages, and with all levels of experience are eligible to stand in the elections.

"So, if you want to help shape the future of veterinary regulation and our Royal College initiatives and activities, please consider standing in next year’s elections.”

Veterinary nurses who are interested in standing for RCVS Council and who have any further queries should contact Annette Amato, VN Council Secretary, on a.amato@rcvs.org.uk.
