RCVS Fellows have been invited to stand for election.

The Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons (RCVS) has invited its Fellows to stand for election, as two vacant positions open on the Fellowship Board.

The open positions are chair of the Fellowship Board and chair of the Credentials Panel for the Meritorious Contributions to Clinical Practice pathway.

If elected, successful applicants will contribute towards the direction of the Board and Panel. They will also support the Fellowship as it works to improve the diversity of its members, share knowledge, and promote the work of the Fellowship.

Successful candidates will sit a three-year term from autumn 2024, with the opportunity to stand for re-election after their first term.

RCVS says that the chair of the Fellowship Board should show leadership qualities, and the ability to support the advancement of the Fellowship. They will be involved with appointing new Fellows, directing the Fellowship’s Strategy to deliver council-agreed objectives, and oversee the work of the Fellowship Science Advisory Panel.

The chair of the Credentials Panel will need to make informed decisions for applicants within the relevant pathway to Fellowship, as well as chairing required panel meetings. They will co-ordinate and oversee the reviewing of applications by their panel members.

Ultimately they will be responsible for listing the applicants that meet or exceed required criteria after assessment, as well as making recommendations to the Fellowship Board.

Those interested in standing for election should complete an election nomination form, found on the Fellowship election page. The form should include a statement outlining why the candidate should be elected, and proving they have the backing of two other RCVS Fellows.

Applications should be submitted to Fellowship@rcvs.org.uk by Friday, 24 May at 4.00pm.
