Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons (RCVS)

Welcome to the YouTube channel of the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons!

Our role

We aim to enhance society through improved animal health and welfare. We do this by setting, upholding and advancing the educational, ethical and clinical standards of veterinary surgeons and veterinary nurses.

Our activities

As a statutory regulator we are responsible under the Veterinary Surgeons Act 1966 for keeping the register of veterinary surgeons eligible to practise in the UK, setting standards for veterinary education and regulating the professional conduct of veterinary surgeons. We also exercise powers under our Royal Charter to award Fellowships, Diplomas and Certificates to veterinary surgeons, veterinary nurses and others.

Our videos

On our new YouTube channel, we will be posting some short films to update you about our latest news and activities. We also run another channel all about working as a veterinary surgeon: http://www.youtube.com/vetcareers
