Blackmore Vale Vets Centre – Sturminster Newton

What is an RCVS accredited practice?

RCVS Core StandardsRCVS Small Animal Practice

The Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons (RCVS) regulates the veterinary profession.

We have volunteered for a rigorous practice inspection every four years to see that our practice meets the high range of standards.  The RCVS can also undertake spot checks on our practice to make sure that we maintain these standards.

This scheme offers peace of mind to our clients.

See: www.rcvs.org.uk

The minimum standards include:

  • Certain types of equipment
  • Cost estimation procedures
  • 24 hour emergency cover
  • Staff training
  • Hygiene
  • Have basic diagnostic and surgical equipment for the work undertaken.
