New free app makes Code of Conduct easy to access
26 September 2013
We have launched a free app for the RCVS Code of Professional Conduct for veterinary surgeons and veterinary nurses, which can be downloaded for both Apple and Android devices.
Once installed, the app provides smartphone and tablet users with a mobile-friendly version of the Code and all 27 chapters of supporting guidance in their pockets, even when there is no network connection. Whenever the Code is updated, the latest version will be available to download the next time the device is online.
Head of Communications, Lizzie Lockett, says: “Our new app provides easy access to the Code, so busy veterinary surgeons and veterinary nurses can now keep our guidance to hand, even when out and about. It’s never been easier to ensure that you’re always working to the Code’s principles of veterinary practice and professional responsibilities.”
The app also offers a keyword search of the whole Code and supporting guidance, links to other sources of information and contact details for further advice over the phone or email.
To install the RCVS Code of Professional Conduct app on your android device, visit Google Play and look out for the shield icon. To install it on an Apple device, visit the Code web pages in the device's internet browser, click on the app link in the Code tool box on the right hand side, and follow the simple instructions.
If an app’s not for you, a copy of the full Code and all supporting guidance can now be downloaded in PDF format from our website, date-stamped so that you know when it was last amended.
Visit www.rcvs.org.uk/code or www.rcvs.org.uk/vncode and see the ‘Code tools’ box for the PDF.
This is our first app and we would love to hear your feedback on it, or suggestions for future apps – please email the Communications Department, on [email protected].
NB This article was updated on 03.11.22 to reflect the fact that the RCVS Code of Professional Conduct app is no longer available. However, both the Vet Code and VN Code are available to view on mobile devices, along with the supporting guidance.
