Myth-busting success at LVS

In November we enjoyed two successful days at London Vet Show, delivering five different talks, getting hundreds of people to play our myth-busting game, and engaging in more than 700 conversations with delegates.

The talks delivered were on:

• Delivering reasonable adjustments in veterinary workplace and educational settings from our Director of Advancement of the Professions Angharad Belcher and Vicky Hedges, VN Examinations Quality Lead;
• A presentation about our new Exit Survey Report and data from our Research Manager Vicki Bolton and Research Officer Melanie Otour;
• Dispelling the myths around disciplinary cases at the RCVS from our Registrar and Director of Legal Services Clare Paget;
• A panel discussion on a potential new Veterinary Surgeons Act which included our President Professor Tim Parkin; and,
• The art of delivering good feedback with Dr Linda Prescott-Clements, our Director of Education.

On the stand itself we were promoting some our current initiatives and activities, along with an interactive myth-busting game with a ‘fact or fiction’ spinning wheel to help dispel some common misconceptions about the College – for example around Schedule 3 and the requirements for continuing professional development (CPD).
