The British Association of Veterinary Emergency and Critical Care (BAVECC) is carrying out a survey of the veterinary profession about 24/7 emergency veterinary cover, the results of which will be presented to the RCVS Standards Committee during its forthcoming review.

Toby Birch MRCVS from BAVECC said: "We are aware that there has been much debate on the subject however we feel that much of what has been aired is subjective opinion. While we appreciate that this is very valuable, BAVECC would like to try and place some objectivity on this matter."

If you're working in small animal practice in the UK, please take part in the survey here: https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/JYKNC5J.

The results will be shared with members of VetSurgeon.org and VetNurse.co.uk in due course.
