RCVS Regional Question Time returns
Veterinary surgeons. nurses and practice managers invited to attend.
College to host January event in Nottingham.

Members of the professions will have the opportunity to pose questions to the RCVS in-person at the first Regional Question Time event of 2023 in Nottingham.

Taking place at the Radisson Blu Hotel in Nottingham on Wednesday 18 January, the event will begin with supper and drinks at 6.30pm, and the programme will start at 7.30pm. 

Attendees will learn about upcoming College projects and initiatives, and will put questions to the entire RCVS Officer team.

The event will be informal and welcoming, and the discussion topics will be led by the audience – with currently relevant topics likely to be covered, including workforce issues, the under care review, legislative reform recommendations, VetGDP and the future of extra-mural studies.

Dr Melissa Donald, president of the RCVS, said: “After having participated in our first in person Question Time in Glasgow back in September, I’m really looking forward to coming together with fellow veterinary professionals once again to discuss the ways in which we can work together to address some of the current key issues facing our profession.

“As mentioned ahead of my first Question Time in Glasgow, a key mission of mine as RCVS President is to talk and listen to as many members of the profession as I possibly can. 

“Many of the current issues we are facing are multifactorial and do not have quick fixes, so gaining different perspectives and listening to what you, our veterinary professionals, have to say is of vital importance.”

Alongside Dr Melissa Donald, other senior RCVS in attendance will be treasurer Niall Connell, senior vice-president Sue Paterson, VN Council Chair Matthew Rendle, registrar Eleanor Ferguson and CEO Lizzie Lockett.

Melissa continued: “Clear and compassionate communication is key, so I hope that many of you will be able to join us in Nottingham for our first in-person Question Time of the year. 

“For those of you who cannot make it, we will be holding further sessions throughout the year, both online and in person. We are here to listen and look forward to meeting as many of you as possible.”

Further information and booking information can be found on the RCVS website.
