SURVEY LOOKS AT VETS DURING COVID

-

THE Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons (RCVS) has published the findings of its third survey on the impact of Covid-19 on vet practices.

The survey, of 196 responses, indicated an improving picture with a marked increase in practice with a near-normal caseload. Fewer staff are self-isolating than the first and second surveys, and fewer practices have staff on furlough.

“This informatio­n is not only vital for our own policy decisions but also allows us to present a stronger case to the Government and other public bodies where we wish to influence the decisions they make that will impact the veterinary profession­s and businesses,” said RCVS chief executive Lizzie Lockett.
