Answer the consultation

Once you have had chance to read all the background and recommendations, we would really value your feedback.

In particular, we would like to hear your views on the potential impact that implementing the recommendations could have, and any evidence and arguments that we might not have considered.

We would welcome views from all veterinary professionals, vet and vet nurse students, the wider vet-led team, those who own or keep animals and the wider public.

Responses to the consultation will be analysed and the resulting report will be considered by Council later in 2024 before any final set of recommendations are agreed upon.

The deadline for responses is 5pm on Monday, 22 July 2024.
