The next Royal College Day will be held on Friday, 3 July 2026 from One Great George Street, London. Registration will open in Spring 2026.

Royal College Day is our annual celebration of achievement within the veterinary and veterinary nursing professions.

It is held in July each year and falls into 2 parts: our Annual General Meeting and our Awards Ceremony.

The AGM starts at 11am and is open to all registered veterinary surgeons and veterinary nurses.

During the AGM we formally declare the names of the candidates newly elected and appointed to RCVS Council and VN Council, and present the Annual Report and Financial Statements for the previous year ended 31 December.

There is also the opportunity for registered veterinary surgeons and veterinary nurses to ask questions. Questions should be submitted to Deborah Rowlanes, RCVS Events Manager - [email protected]. 

The minutes from the last AGM are available to download from the 'Related documents' section. 

Our Awards Ceremony starts around 1pm, and is open to all, including our award holders, their friends and family, and anyone with an interest in the achievements and advancements within the veterinary professions.
