The big issues we鈥檙e tackling this year
Your voice shapes our work and this year we鈥檙e focusing on six key priorities impacting you, the profession and animal welfare.
Through policy development, political lobbying and public campaigning, we鈥檒l address your concerns, seize opportunities and drive change. Your priorities are also shaping the support and resources we deliver to help you in your daily work.

The CMA concluded its investigation into vet services for household pets and we're听now听supporting members with practical resources听to navigate and comply with听its听mandatory measures.
Preparing for emerging disease threats
How ready is听the UK and the profession to respond to the next听national disease outbreak听- we'll听identify where more support is needed,听make听recommendations to Government, and听provide practical guidance and resources for use in听practice.听
Tackling animal welfare issues
We鈥檙e making sure your expertise is heard by pressing the UK Government to deliver the commitments in its Animal Welfare Strategy and holding the Scottish, Welsh and Northern Ireland governments to their manifesto pledges.
Careers and workplace support
We鈥檙e publishing practical career-path resources to help you access听the breadth of opportunities across the veterinary profession and make informed choices about your next step.听We鈥檙e also听bringing members together听to shape听better veterinary workplaces.
Shouting about the work you do
This year we鈥檙e launching a new public campaign celebrating the difference you make every day听and听championing the value of being part of the veterinary profession.
Our policy, lobbying and campaigning priorities are shaped by members through our Divisions, Branches across the devolved nations and Policy Committee, before being agreed by 趣夜app Council each September.听
