Deadline for RCVS Fellowship applications approaches
"It's an exciting time to join the Fellowship" - Dr Cheryl Scudamore.

Applications close on Monday 14 February. 

The Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons (RVCS) is reminding prospective applicants that applications for 2022's Fellowship intake will close in just a couple of weeks' time.

In a news release, the RCVS has sent out a reminder that the deadline for Fellowship intake applications is 5pm on Monday 14 February, and has reiterated the application requirements.

Three routes are available to take when joining the learned society, Meritorious Contributions to Clinical Practice, Meritorious Contributions to Knowledge and Meritorious Contributions to the Profession. Each route has different criteria, allowing for a wide range of people with different experiences and expertise to join the Fellowship.  

For all three routes, applicants should include a 2,000 word summary of their contribution to the profession, along with examples of significant bodies of work they have produced throughout the course of their career.

Full details of the application requirements, including how to apply, can be found on the RCVS website.

Vice-Chair of the Fellowship Board, Dr Cheryl Scudamore, commented: “The Fellowship Board always receives a number of excellent applications to join the RCVS Fellowship, and I’m sure this year will be no different.

“It’s an exciting time to join the Fellowship as this year we are launching a new platform that will help us to collaborate with each other and communicate our work to the wider profession.

“I look forward to welcoming the new Fellows, hopefully in person, at the College’s RCVS Day in the Autumn.”

Milk recalled over presence of veterinary medicines

Graham's Family Dairy has issued a recall for its semi-skimmed milk due to the presence of veterinary medicines in the product.

In a risk statement, the Food Standards Agency said the presence of the medicines, including penicillin, make the milk unsafe to consume and 'may be a possible health risk for anyone with an allergy to antibiotics'.

Customers who bought the product are advised to return it to the store of purchase for a full refund.
