Veterinary surgeons and veterinary nurses may now cast votes for their preferred candidates in this year’s Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons (RCVS) Council election and Veterinary Nurses (VN) Council election.
Ballot papers with candidate details, biographies and manifestos have been posted to all veterinary surgeons and veterinary nurses last week.
Eight candidates are standing in the RCVS Council election this year, with the six who receive the most votes joining Council at RCVS Day on Friday 15th July 2016 for a four-year term. Six candidates are standing in the VN Council election this year and the two successful candidates will also take up their four-year term at RCVS Day.
All votes must be cast, either online or by post by 5pm on Friday 29th April 2016. Online votes for RCVS Council candidates can be made here, while online votes for VN Council can be made here.
Each candidate in both elections has produced a short video in which they answer two questions which they have selected from those submitted to the RCVS in advance by members of the profession.
