Leadership, Diversity and Inclusion
Leadership
Leadership is practiced everyday by professionals in different roles across the veterinary sector. Self-reflection and the development of leadership skills are important aspects of continuing veterinary education, helping to build future leadership capacity within the professions.
In the Leadership Library, you'll discover a range of curated resources on key topics designed to support your leadership development.
Opportunities to learn about leadership are also available on the RCVS Academy.
For more information on RCVS Leadership initiatives, please email [email protected].
Diversity and Inclusion
Let's Talk Adjustments
Let’s Talk Adjustments is our campaign to raise awareness and understanding of reasonable adjustments in veterinary workplaces.
Under the Equality Act 2010, employers are legally required to make adjustments to ensure people with disabilities aren’t disadvantaged.
Through carefully chosen resources, real-world veterinary case studies, and expert guidance, Let’s Talk Adjustments will inspire positive changes in your practice - supporting individual team members while fostering a more inclusive and welcoming environment for the entire veterinary team.
Fostering diversity and inclusion in veterinary professions
The RCVS is committed to helping create veterinary professions where everyone can flourish, whoever they are.
Our work focuses on improving recruitment and retention, widening access, and engendering culture change to ensure the professions are more diverse and inclusive.

- Disability and Chronic Illness Survey
- RCVS VSC BAME Student Support Working Group Report
