362 veterinary nurses removed from Register/List

Please note that this article is now archived and the list of veterinary nurses removed is no longer available to download. The veterinary nurses listed might have since paid their fees, been restored to the Register and permitted to resume veterinary nursing activities. You are advised to check the RCVS Register to determine the current Register status of any RCVS member.

Some 362 veterinary nurses have been removed from the Register/List following the end of their annual renewal period.

This number includes both removals for non-payment and voluntary removals and is down from a total of 492 veterinary nurses who were taken off the Register/List at the start of 2014.

The deadline for payment of the annual fee to remain on the Register/List was 1 November 2014 although payment was accepted up to and including 31 December 2014.

Employers are encouraged to check that the veterinary nurses they employ remain on the Register/List, as those who are neither registered nor listed are not legally permitted to carry out minor surgery or medical treatment as defined under Schedule 3 of the Veterinary Surgeons Act 1966.

A list of those veterinary nurses who have been removed can be downloaded to assist with these checks.

Employers, veterinary nurses and others can also use the online Find a Vet Nurse search tool, which is updated daily.

Veterinary nurses that have been removed from the Register/List and who wish to apply for restoration should contact our Registration Department on 020 7202 0707 or [email protected] for further information.
