AGM, awards and presidential handover

Members of the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons (RCVS), as well as listed and registered veterinary nurses, are invited to attend the upcoming RCVS Day.

Held on Friday, July 5 at London's Royal College of Physicians, the day will include the RCVS Annual General Meeting (AGM) and an award presentation.

Furthermore, Dr Andy Stringer, director of programmes at the Society for the Protection of Animals Abroad (SPANA) will be guest speaking on improving the health and welfare of working animals worldwide.

The event will be the last official engagement for Jacqui Molyneux as RCVS President, who will be chairing the AGM, starting at 10am.

Once she has welcomed new members to both the RCVS Council and the Veterinary Nurses Council, she will hand over the post to the 2013/2014 president, Colonel Neil Smith.

RCVS Day is intended to recognise and celebrate the achievements of those within the veterinary profession, with honorary awards, fellowships and diplomas being presented.

Tickets are free and allocated on a first-come, first-serve basis. To book, email Fiona Harcourt, or call 020 7202 0773.
