The RCVS has announced its list of vets who will join the ranks of its fellowship later this year.
A cohort of 51 vets will be admitted to the fellowship, up from 34 in 2023 and 48 in 2024.
The surgeons will be formally admitted at Fellowship Day, held in Westminster on 27 November.
Broad range
Fellowship board chair Niall Connell said: “It is great to see the fellowship once again welcoming such a broad and diverse range of veterinary talent and excellence to its ranks.”
He added that regardless of their pursuits within the sector, “what unites them all is a dedication to the advancement of the veterinary profession and the contribution that it can make to animal health and welfare, public health and society as a whole”.
The vets featured on the list range from clinicians and academics to public servants and campaigners.
