Inspiring confidence in veterinary care
Our mission is to protect the public interest by ensuring animal health and welfare, and public health, are advanced through thriving, world-class veterinary professionals.
How can we help?
October marks Black History Month in the UK, with this year's theme being "Honouring Our Communities". At the RCVS, we have used this month to reflect on the work of professionals outside of practices and hospitals, and how their efforts contribute to strengthening the veterinary community. In light of this, Dr Donald Palmer, an associate professor of immunology at the Royal Veterinary College, spoke to the RCVS about the importance of immunology and his role within the college, plus his academic journey and how it has been shaped by identity and heritage.
