Following the comprehensive RCVS Manpower Surveys conducted in 1998 and 2000, the RCVS commissioned this smaller veterinary employment survey in 2002 in order to update this key information about trends and developments in the veterinary profession.

A report of the manpower survey we carried out in 1998 to establish trends within the veterinary profession. A questionnaire was sent out to all members of the RCVS in early 1998 and over 61% were completed and returned.
