Meet the PSS Assessors
Practice assessment visits are carried out around the country by a team of Assessors, who are listed below, together with some general requirements for becoming an Assessor.
You can click on the Assessor's name below to read more about them on their biography pages. See an overview of PSS Assessor training.
Who can be an Assessor?
All Assessors are veterinary surgeons and must meet the following criteria:
- to have been members of the RCVS for at least 5 years;
- to be in full- or part-time veterinary practice, or to have been so within the past 3 years; and,
- to have been approved as having suitable experience for undertaking inspections.
Assessors are appointed as employees of the RCVS, they are expected to attend an annual training day(s), buddied assessments and are subject to annual appraisal by the lead Assessor.
