RCVS candidate to bring 'common sense approach'
Lynne Hill
"The important thing is how the College response to the professions concerns."
Lynne Hill hopes to improve standards across all areas of College business

"I want to continue to bring my common sense approach to College business through my experience as a practitioner for many years both as an owner and manager, and from working in education," says RCVS candidate Lynne Hill. "I hope as a female to ensure that our perspective is at the table."

If re-elected to Council, Lynne, chair of the RVN Preliminary Investigation Committee, would like to see VN regulation 'bedded down' in the College with the new Charter.  She also hopes drive forward strategies for the future and improve standards across all areas of College business, including education.

"As chair of the primary qualifications subcommittee, we have produced new standards and guidelines for the universities to meet for education of the vet students of the future. I want to see these in the system to ensure we all get the new graduates we need."

Last year the RCVS came under fire from the profession for some of its decisions. Standing up for the Council, Lynne says that the College did 'extremely well' in response to the concerns.

"It addressed them, it held consultations and clarified advice for the profession. This is what a sensible regulator should do." she said.

"But will every vet agree with every decision made in the future? The answer is no. The important thing is how the College response to the professions concerns."
