Leadership, Diversity and Inclusion
Leadership
Leadership is practiced everyday by professionals in different roles across the veterinary sector. Self-reflection and the development of leadership skills are important aspects of continuing veterinary education, helping to build future leadership capacity within the professions.
In the Leadership Library, you'll discover a range of curated resources on key topics designed to support your leadership development.
Opportunities to learn about leadership are also available on the RCVS Academy.
For more information on RCVS Leadership initiatives, please email [email protected].
Diversity and Inclusion
Let's Talk Adjustments
We’re excited to announce the launch of Let’s Talk Adjustments, our new campaign raising awareness and understanding of reasonable adjustments in veterinary practices and workplaces.
Under the Equality Act 2010, all employers must make adjustments to ensure people with disabilities are not disadvantaged.
Let’s Talk Adjustments will inspire you to make positive changes in your practice, supporting individual team members and creating a more inclusive and positive environment for everyone.
The RCVS is committed to helping create veterinary professions where everyone can flourish, whoever they are.
Our work focuses on improving recruitment and retention, widening access, and engendering culture change to ensure the professions are more diverse and inclusive.
Here are some examples of recent projects, initiatives and campaigns:
- Disability and Chronic Illness Survey
- RCVS VSC BAME Student Support Working Group Report
- RCVS Guidance on Religious Clothing and Beliefs
- Black History Month 2024
- Disability History Month 2023
- Celebrating Pride with Dr Peter Harlech Jones MRCVS - 2023
- Celebrating Pride with Dr Ami Sawran MRCVS - 2023
- Reflection on the meaning of Pride - 2023
