UK veterinary associations

UK veterinary associations are professional organizations that support veterinarians’ education, uphold standards of care, and promote animal health and welfare. They provide resources, guidance, and advocacy for vets, helping ensure high-quality veterinary practice across the country. Key bodies include the British Veterinary Association (BVA), which represents vets nationwide, and the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons (RCVS), the regulatory body responsible for/licensing vets. These associations also offer continuous professional development, ethical guidance, and a platform for collaboration within the veterinary community, ultimately aiming to enhance animal and public health through professional excellence.
