Practice Standards Scheme: Have your say
The Practice Standards Group has proposed a draft new manual for the Practice Standards Scheme, and the views of practice managers are sought.
The group, chaired by Jill Nute and comprising representatives from all of the key veterinary and veterinary nursing organisations, has carried out a detailed review of the standards and aims to roll out the new manual in 2010.
The manual has a new layout, including guidance shown next to the appropriate standard, and icons to indicate the provenance of the standard (ie The Guide to Professional Conduct, legislation or better practice). Within the standards, there is a greater focus on clinical outcome and training.
One recommendation from the group is that the 'tiers' (one, two or three) should be dropped. The categories will retain their descriptive names, for example, Small Animal General Practice or Equine Veterinary Hospital. Feedback suggests that clients, and the profession, found the tiers to be misleading.
Visit www.rcvs.org.uk/consultations to view the draft manual. Comments should be sent to Eleanor Ferguson, Practice Standards Scheme manager: e.ferguson@rcvs.org.uk or 020 7202 0720. The deadline for comments is August 31, 2009.
