RCVS Workforce Ambitions Revisited

With the recent publication of our Workforce Modelling Report in December 2024, join us as we revisit the seven ambitions of our Workforce Action Plan published in 2022.  

Following the December 2024 release of our Workforce Modelling Report, we revisit the seven ambitions of the 2022 Workforce Action Plan.

The Workforce Action Plan outlines how the RCVS is addressing veterinary workforce challenges and how the wider sector can collaborate to make a difference. It highlights the role of culture change, career development and leadership in improving retention, attracting new talent, and supporting returners to the profession.

But what now? 

With our new workforce model, we now have access to data which shows us where the professions could be headed in the future. A lot has changed over the past few years, and it is important that we keep ahead of the curve and work together to understand how we can best continue to move forward. 

Our series of interactive webinars, begins with an introductory session to the workforce model, before expanding into separate sessions on each of the individual seven ambitions set out within the Action Plan. Within each webinar, we answer your questions and discuss how, together, we can ensure a bright future for the professions.

Before joining the sessions, it may be useful for you to read, or refresh your memory, of our Workforce Action Plan which is available to download. You may also wish to familiarise yourself with our 2024 Workforce Modelling Report, which is also available to download.
