Description
In this webinar, Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons (RCVS) Registrar Gordon Hockey and former Council Member and Standards Committee Chair Clare Tapsfield-Wright explain the upcoming changes to the official 24/7 emergency care guidance. Following extensive consultation, the (RCVS) has reviewed and amended its guidance in order to place a greater emphasis on owners’ legal responsibilities for their animals, as well as an obligation on veterinary surgeons to provide more information to clients about their out-of-hours emergency service. The new guidance also assists and empowers vets to decline to attend an animal away from the practice when unnecessary or unsafe.
