Reminder for all VNs to complete their annual renewal

We are reminding all veterinary nurses that they must complete their annual renewal, including paying their annual renewal fee, by Tuesday 31 December 2019 at the latest.

The renewal period has opened now, via the ‘My Account’ area of our website, with the official renewal date being Friday 1 November 2019. As the renewal year runs from November 2019 to November 2020, all veterinary nurses must complete the renewal process, including new nurses who may have first registered less than 12 months ago.

The annual renewal fee for veterinary nurses is set at £69 for this year, and payments can be made by debit or credit card via the ‘My Account’ area of our website, or by cheque, bank draft or bank transfer. Unfortunately, payments cannot be taken over the telephone.

All veterinary nurses also need to confirm their Register address and contact details, confirm their compliance with the current continuing professional development requirement of 45 hours over a three year period, and declare any convictions, cautions and/or adverse findings. These steps still need to be completed even if the veterinary nurse’s employer is paying the renewal fee.

Veterinary nurses who fail to complete their annual renewal on or before Tuesday 31 December 2019 will be removed from the Register.

Veterinary nurses with any queries about annual renewal should contact the RCVS registration team via [email protected] or 020 7202 0707.
