A vision or a necessity? Strengthening the role of veterinary nurses in team-based veterinary healthcare - Scotland

VN Futures is sponsoring and supporting a series of RCVS engagement events during 2025, which aim to strengthen the role of veterinary nurses in team-based veterinary healthcare. This is the first derivative project to result from the ‘VN Vision’ work that the RCVS carried out during 2024. 

This is an in-person event, and we invite attendance from all practice team members. Whether you are a veterinary nurse, veterinary surgeon, practice support staff, director, manager, or practice owner, your input will be essential in gaining a broad view across a range of perspectives.

About this series of events: 

This RCVS-led project, ‘A vision or a necessity: strengthening the role of veterinary nurses in team-based veterinary healthcare’, will explore how veterinary nurses can be more effectively integrated within multidisciplinary teams, and why doing so is essential for the future of veterinary healthcare.

Workshop format

The sessions will involve working in small groups to define the long-term goals, identify the practical steps needed to achieve them, and determine how success will be measured and shared with the wider profession and public.

This is more than a conversation – it’s a national effort to strengthen the RVN role through collaboration, clarity, and confidence. For the profession, with the profession.
