    Today is the 100th anniversary of women's suffrage in the UK, but it wasn't until 1919 that women could become vets and only in 1922 did Aleen Cust become the first woman on the Register. From these slow and formative beginnings, now well over half of vets are women #Suffrage100

    With immediate effect, we're reducing the annual requirement of CPD hours for veterinary professionals by 25% to help relieve pressure on vets and vet nurses facing significant and competing responsibilities in the face of the #coronavirus pandemic. rcvs.org.uk/news-and-views…

    Jointly with @BritishVets and @bvnauk we have written to @BorisJohnson asking that Afghan vet professionals who've worked for UK charities/ NGOs such as @Nowzad and @themayhew in Afghanistan are evacuated and resettled in the UK should they wish: rcvs.org.uk/news-and-views…

    .@RCVSpresident wrote to @DefraGovUK yesterday to call for vets to be granted ‘key worker’ status due to their critical roles in food safety, zoonotic disease surveillance & research, & practice team provision of 24/7 emergency services to animals, including small animals.

    Replying to @faisalislam
    Hi Faisal - that's correct. Estimates obtained by us and @BritishVets suggest that up to 95% of vets working in the public health sector are non-UK EU nationals: rcvs.org.uk/news-and-views…
