Vets working in the EU
EU Directive 2005/36/EC
On the 1 January 2021 the UK left the EU therefore the EU Directive 2005/36/EC, which is in place to allow community-rights-entitled veterinary surgeons who are lawfully established and registered in an EU member state to provide temporary and occasional services in another member state, will no longer apply within in the UK.
