The Future of UK Veterinary Practice: Facts, Myths, and Reform
The veterinary sector is undergoing the most significant regulatory overhaul in over half a century. Between the CMA’s final orders and the long-awaited reform of the 1966 Veterinary Surgeons Act, the rules of how we work, practice, and communicate with clients are fundamentally changing.
What does this actually mean for your day-to-day work at the clinical coalface? What is hype, what is fact, and how will it directly impact Vets and Registered Veterinary Nurses?
Join us at the next Clinical Club meeting for a direct, unvarnished look at the changing landscape with RCVS President Tim Hutchinson BVSc CertSAS MRCVS.
What We’ll Cover
- CMA Remedies & Final Orders: What we know so far, practical implications for pricing and prescriptions, and what practice teams need to do to comply.
- Veterinary Surgeons Act Reform: Why the 1966 Act is no longer fit for purpose, what’s being proposed, and how it affects the entire practice team.
- Myth-Busting: Cutting through social media panic and industry rumour to get to the true regulatory facts.
- Open Interactive Q&A: An open platform to ask Tim your questions. The presentation will lay out the facts in the first half, followed by a dedicated Q&A in the second half; your chance to speak directly with RCVS leadership.
Why You Can’t Miss This
This isn’t just another policy presentation, it’s an open conversation about the future of our profession. Whether you’re a practice owner, clinical director, associate vet, or RVN, these changes will affect how you deliver care, communicate with clients, and work within your practice team.
