Chris Tufnell elected during RCVS Council meeting

RCVS Council member Chris Tufnell has been elected as the next RCVS vice-president and will take up his position in July.

Chris, who is an equine practitioner from Newbury in Berkshire, was elected at the RCVS Council meeting on March 5. He will replace Dr Bradley Viner, who was elected as president for 2015/16.

After completing a degree in Agricultural and Environmental Science at Newcastle University, Chris worked for a year in Zambia before returning to study for a veterinary degree at Glasgow University.

Following his graduation in 1999, Chris worked in mixed practice in Hertfordshire, where he was exposed to the rigours of agricultural practice in an area of family farms. He now runs an equine and companion animal practice in Berkshire, which employs five vets and seven support staff.

As vice-president, Chris hopes that his experience and outlook as a practitoner 'on the ground' will shape his term in office.

He says: "Just as many others before me, it is the experience of the day-job which drives me to contribute to the work of the RCVS."

Subject to formal appointment, both Chris and Bradley will take up their positions at RCVS Day, the College’s Annual General Meeting and Awards Day, on Friday, 10 July.
