RCVS Seeks Feedback On New Draft VN Code Of Professional Conduct

The RCVS is seeking feedback from veterinary nurses, veterinary surgeons and members of the public on a new draft Code of Professional Conduct for Veterinary Nurses. The new draft Code, which would replace the existing RCVS Guide to Professional Conduct for Veterinary Nurses, has been produced by a Working Party set up by an RCVS Advisory Committee to review the Guides for both veterinary surgeons and veterinary nurses. It is the benchmark for professional conduct against which registered veterinary nurses will be measured in any hearings on serious professional misconduct held by the recently-introduced VN Disciplinary Committee. The purpose of the review is to ensure that guidance to the profession, and the public, is clear, for example, using consistent language to distinguish between what must be done and what is advised.
