It is essential though that you check with each practice before working there that they will provide cover as, in some cases, they do not. If that is the case then you will need to provide your own. It is an RCVS requirement for you as a practicing RVN.</p> <p>Public Liability insurance is vastly expensive and not a requirement to practice, although it is a great idea to have it if you can add afford it. Try Hiscox insurance for a quote.&nbsp;</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
