RCVS invites members of the profession to celebrate first in-person Fellowship Day since 2019

31 October 2022

On Friday, 11 November 2022, the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons (RCVS) will formally welcome to the RCVS Fellowship, those veterinary surgeons who were awarded the FRCVS title in 2020, 2021, and 2022, at the first in-person Fellowship Day since 2019. The new Chair of the Fellowship Board, Dr Chris Tufnell, and other new board members will also be officially instated.

The event, which is being held at The Royal Institution in London, is open to all FsRCVS and MsRCVS who wish to celebrate the contributions of outstanding individuals within the veterinary profession and learn more about the work of the Fellowship itself.

In addition to welcoming the new Fellows, the day will feature a range of talks, presentations, and panel discussions, including a speech from Keynote Speaker Professor Alan Wilson – a world-renowned expert in the locomotory mechanics of animals and Professor of Locomotor Biomechanics in the Structure and Motion Lab at the Royal Veterinary College.

RCVS Director for the Advancement of the Professions, Angharad Belcher, said: “We are looking forward to welcoming our new Fellows and being able to celebrate their outstanding achievements and contributions to the profession together in an in-person setting after the recent years of virtual events. We will be celebrating 2020, 2021 and 2022 Fellows, as well as facilitating interactive sessions for all to take part.

“Fellowship Day aims to showcase the variety and extent of the Fellowship’s knowledge base and gives all members the opportunity to exchange their views and ideas, and to provide suggestions for our Science Advisory Panel and other areas of potential activity.

“We are also delighted to be welcoming veterinary students once again as part of our Fellows of the Future competition. The Fellowship really is for the benefit of the entire veterinary profession, and there are a number of tickets available for MsRCVS who would like to be involved.”
