RCVS Council has announced there will be no increase in annual renewal fees this year, but the alternative fee payment arrangements brought in to reduce financial pressures on vet nurses during the pandemic will now come to an end. 

Annual renewal fees for veterinary nurses will remain at the same level as in 2021: £74.

The removal of the alternative fee payment arrangements means there will be no extension to the fee payment window for the 2022/23 fee year and the usual deadline of 31 December will apply.

RCVS Treasurer Niall Connell said: “We understand that many veterinary surgeons and veterinary nurses will have been impacted financially over the last couple of years, and we appreciate that this has been a very difficult time for the professions.

"We are pleased that we are able to keep fees static for a second year running, whilst maintaining a strong programme of strategic projects that help to set, uphold and advance standards within the professions.”
