The Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons (RCVS) has removed 247 veterinary nurses from its register for failing to pay their annual renewal fee. The number is significantly down from 2016, when 692 VNs were removed for non-payment.
Practices are encouraged to check the list to ensure the veterinary nurses they employ are on the register and are therefore able to carry out medical treatment and minor acts of veterinary surgery as defined under Schedule 3 of the Veterinary Surgeons Act.
Those who have been removed from the RCVS Register of Veterinary Nurses, and who wish to apply to be restored, cam contact the RCVS registration department on 020 7202 0707 or by emailing registration@rcvs.org.uk
