🐕 The RVC, in collaboration with Battersea Dogs & Cats Home, has today launched a nationwide survey to explore how canine behaviour impacts the lives of dog owners and their families.

Now calling for adult UK-based dog owners to take part in the survey, the researchers hope the insights gathered will help veterinary professionals, canine behaviour experts and animal welfare organisations and charities provide better behavioural support for owners and their pets across the UK.

🎓 The RVC is developing an exciting new postgraduate qualification designed for veterinarians who want to enhance their clinical and general practice skills.

Building on our experience of delivering the RCVS Certificate in Advanced Veterinary Practice (CertAVP), this new programme will combine flexible distance learning with enriched study resources, including journal clubs, CPD courses, and clinical case rounds. You’ll also have the option to progress from Certificate to Diploma or Master’s level, all awarded by the RVC.

We’d love to hear your thoughts on this new course. Whether you’ve already completed a postgraduate qualification or are considering one, your views will help us design a programme that truly meets the needs of today’s veterinary professionals.

Please take a few minutes to complete our short survey — it’s quick, anonymous, and will make a real difference.
