RCVS calls for views of profession

The RCVS is asking veterinary professionals to submit their views on the Day One Competences, which are required of newly qualified veterinary surgeons.

As part of a review of the Day One Competences, a survey has been put up on the college's website. The competences in broad terms set out what is required of new graduates at the end of their veterinary degree.

Since being introduced by the RCVS, the competences have been adopted across Europe through the European Association of Establishments for Veterinary Education (EAEVE).

The review is being undertaken by a Working Party, which is made up of representatives from veterinary schools and the British Veterinary Association (BVA), as well as a recent veterinary graduate. The party will report to the Education Policy and Specialisation Committee (EPSC).

Commenting on the review, RCVS Council member David Catlow, who chairs the Working Party, said: "The Day One Competences, which define the level to be expected of new veterinary graduates when they first qualify…

"As it is over ten years since these competences were confirmed, we are reviewing them to ensure they remain valid, and to seek to ensure they reflect current and likely future expectations."
