Why is the RCVS soooo slow!?

I have two collaegues that have recently passed their practical exams and hadn't heard anything.

My friend called them and demanded an answer as her registration fee had been paid and cashed, it turned out that there is one woman dealing with every single registration and she had been off sick for a considerable amount of time. But of course nobody thought that anyone should replace her and cover her workload whilst she was off?!

Apparently my colleague has been registered since Febuary but no one bothered to tell her - slightly frustrating as the company we work for doesn't give us back pay until the letter is received!

Hope this helps, ring them up and ask where yours is!

my experience has been that there is zero communication between the different departments. In september / october 2009 I moved house. As payment of yearly subs was due I notified change of address at the same time as paying my subs - the result of which is that my receipt and VN card were posted to my old address which I had no access to and was unoccupied and had no chance of recovering mail, and apparently this was my fault for not notifying a change of address! Ok it was eventually resolved but I was bloody annoyed at the time and it shouldnt have happened in the first place.

when i restarted my training in 2007 I found out that the RCVS had changed my enrollment number without telling me (which they denied) so I faxed them copies of my certificates and correspondence from when I passed my Paper 1 and failed my Paper 2 with my 'old' enrolment number on them. The Vet Nursing dept never received them as THERE WAS ONLY 1 FAX MACHINE FOR THE WHOLE BUILDING!

My Friends passed at the same time as me in october and she has paid her registration fee but she's still heard nothing!! I would like to say I can't believe it but sadly the RCVS messed us all about so much that I can! Hope yours come through soon!
