Note to editors:
ESVPS is a not-for-profit organisation established in 2003 to provide attainable, balanced qualifications for veterinary practitioners working in full-time practice. The ESVPS examination committee comprises over 100 members who are Diplomates of UK, European or USA Veterinary Specialist Colleges, or are similarly qualified or recognised specialists, active in clinical practice. The examination committee is supported and overseen by the academic board which consists of ten members each of which are highly experienced in the academic field and are veterinary diplomates and/or specialists themselves. The examination committee sets and evaluates all course work, formulates the final examinations and reviews the conduct of the examination. The academic board reviews all assessment performance and determines the final examination results.
