RCVS updates vet nurse register
VNs advised to check they remain listed

The RCVS has updated its list of veterinary nurses, writing to 625 VNs who have been removed due to non-receipt of fees. The college has advised nurses to check their status online to ensure they have not been inadvertently delisted, and to contact them if at all unclear.

Receipts and (R)VN cards have been sent out to those who have paid their fees - which were originally due at the end of 2012 - and whose names remain on the list. However, those who have not received a receipt and (R)VN card have been advised by the RCVS to check online to ensure they remain listed.

The college has also advised employers to ensure that their vet nurses remain on the list, as those who have been delisted will not be legally permitted to carry out minor surgery or medical treatment. To assist with this a list of vet nurses removed for non-payment is available on the RCVS website.

The college are concerned that a number of the written fee reminders sent out to nurses may not have reached them as "it is likely" that some will not have updated their address with the college. Therefore they have advised that any VNs concerned about their status should contact them.

To check you haven't been inadvertently delisted, check the RCVS website.
