The RCVS is once again asking veterinary surgeons to submit questions to the candidates for this year's Council elections, in order to better understand their views on subjects important to the profession.

Each candidate will produce a written reply to two questions of their choice, which will be included on their candidate profile webpage ahead of the start of the election.

The 14 candidates who are standing in this year’s election for the three available elected places on RCVS Council are:

  • Professor David Barrett FRCVS
  • Dr Sinéad Bennett MRCVS
  • Dr Mark Bowen FRCVS
  • Richard Brown MRCVS
  • Paddy Gordon MRCVS
  • Dr Gerard Henry MRCVS
  • Dr Peter Higgins MRCVS
  • Dr Zara Kennedy MRCVS
  • Dr Thomas Lonsdale MRCVS
  • Penelope Morgan MRCVS
  • Dr Kate Richards MRCVS
  • Dr Richard Sanderson MRCVS
  • Sally Schroeder MRCVS
  • Dr Lara Wilson MRCVS

The biographies and election statements for each candidate are available to read at www.rcvs.org.uk/vetvote24.

The three candidates with the most votes will join Council for their four-year terms at the College’s AGM in July.

The College says it will only accept one question per person and questions must be decent.

Offensive, defamatory and inaccurate questions will not be passed on to candidates.

You can email your question to: vetvote24@rcvs.org.uk
