We have made the decision to step away from X (formerly Twitter). Our decision has been carefully considered and reflects our commitment to the safety and wellbeing of our audience. Thank you for engaging with us on this platform. More details below.

Heading home after an interesting two days at the Canmore Trust interdisciplinary conf on suicide prevention. So helpful to explore with colleagues from other healthcare profs how we can be compassionate regulators. We’ve been at this a while, but still have much to learn!

[Lizzie Lockett @RCVS_CEO]

@RoyalVetCollege @StuartReid_RVC, you will be an extremely hard act to follow. Thank you so much for all of your support for the College and our team over the years, in countless ways, large & small. The UK’s loss will be the US’s gain, & I’m sure they will appreciate all that you bring to them.

[Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons @theRCVS]

Huge congrats to Dr Neah Evans MRCVS and her teammate Elinor Barker for their Sterling Silver performance in the madison this evening! #Paris2024 https://t.co/AugkUrgbbp

[Lizzie Lockett @RCVS_CEO]

It was great to chat to new Minister @SteveReedMP about the urgent need for a new Veterinary Surgeons Act, to better serve animals, the public & the veterinary professions. Look forward to working with @DefraGovUK @BritishVets @theRCVS to make it happen https://t.co/vmms1jmiVf

[Defra UK @DefraGovUK]

Thank you to the 200 representatives from the environment, animal welfare, water, food and rural sectors who joined us yesterday as @SteveReedMP set out our plans.

Together we can nurture our countryside, restore nature, and build our rural economies.

[Lizzie Lockett @RCVS_CEO]

@helenauea Totally agree ref that third question!

[Lizzie Lockett @RCVS_CEO]

We @theRCVS were pleased to support this letter and the Climate and Nature Bill.

[Zero Hour @zero-hour.bsky.social @zerohour_uk]

📣 Today, 100 Zero Hour champions, supported by 160 MPs, 225 scientists, 365 councils—and 52,000 #CANBill campaigners—delivered an urgent message to @Keir_Starmer: “Prime Minister, please, back the science. Back the Climate & Nature Bill. Let’s secure a liveable future—together.”

[Lizzie Lockett @RCVS_CEO]

This looks like a really brilliant resource. Well done @mentalhealth So important to represent mental health appropriately. The images stay when the words are forgotten. @vetmindmatters

[Mental Health Foundation @mentalhealth]

With the help of our community, we’ve built an image library that is authentic and representative of positive mental health 📸💚

Great to hear our Education Officer, Hayley Stinchon, outline how @theRCVS is working to make ‘the future brighter for EMS’ by outlining our new Extra-mural Studies policy, hub and database. #BSAVACongress

[Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons @theRCVS]

Don’t forget to join us tomorrow, 21 March at stand C510 at @thebsava congress – come by to meet the RCVS team and ask any questions you may have about our current initiatives. You can also take part in our CPD quiz, for a chance to win a prize!

[Lizzie Lockett @RCVS_CEO]

@sjp_vetsci @theRCVS Ooh. Sounds interesting!

[Lizzie Lockett @RCVS_CEO]

Outside my comfort zone at AI-UK / the Alan Turing Institute. ‘AI’ in the vet world usually means something else, but I need to get up to speed on this version, as @theRCVS regulation needs to strike the right balance of safeguarding animal health & welfare, & enabling innovation

[Lizzie Lockett @RCVS_CEO]

@simondocvet @theRCVS That too!
